Re: algarve workers
Hi, there are many removal companies in the algarve, get a copy of the algarve resident and portugal news as most are listed there.
Nursing....i was told they here they dont recognise uk nursing qualification (but that was a few years ago and may have changed) so the person in question went to work at the private hospital in alvor. There are several nursing agencies, but work seems very intermittent in the respect that one person i know (qualified) has been on an agency book for 9 months with no work.
The music side is much easier. Bars hotels restaurants (my husbands included) have music, but its mainly seasonal. New talent is sort after though if that helps!!!
Again the algarve resident and portugal news are good places to advertise you skills.
