I have just read all of the comments to your request regarding the Cayman Islands. As far as I know all the Caribbean islands are protective of there own people and their employment for very good reason. So the first thing you need to have are skills that they need as some other writers pointed out.

I would not recommend it because the last hurricane caused so much damage to very expensive properties it was a real disaster.

Have you been to the Cayman Islands before or to any other Caribbean island? I would recommend visiting a number of the larger islands for example Barbados, Trinidad, Antigua and Jamaica because they are all unique and going on a vacation is never like living in that very same place. I have been in the Caribbean for a long time now ans lived on many of the islands and countries surrounding the Caribbean Sea.

What type of job are you looking for ? that would really help your cause and us making suggestions to you. Thank you. One way I would suggest is to take a job as part of the crew of a private boat from the British Virgin Islands and then you can see many islands and experience sailing at the same time. Maybe 2 months might be the right time to do that and Village Cay Marina is one of the bases for that type of activity.

In general the Caribbean is expensive because everything is shipped into each island and tariffs have been increasing making food and all other items much more expensive than 10 years ago. New furniture is always a problem in the Caribbean as it has to be shipped into the islands. Secondhand furniture is always available on each island, of course.

I hope that you find this information useful.

Best regards,

Hi, you can contact a company here on the Island called Steppingstones,.. they are a recruitment agency and they hire for all positions on Island. Type in stepping stones cayman in google and you will see it. I moved from the UK to Grand cayman a year ago so if you have any questions I am sure I can help!

sherril

As a scottish couple we moved to the Island of Grand Caymana year ago, we are both employed full time and that is how we can stay on the Island, with full time permits ( residents). It is very difficult to obtain permits right now to come to the Island due to the financial state of the world and the fact that there are not as many jobs right now. I am in a good position to offer any advice or answer any questions or concers you have regarding where to rent, cost of living etc,.. feel free to get in touch!

Thanks alot for that Sherill, So do you think it is possible to get such a job as a TA? I will apply to them sooner the time .ike January next year maybe...I have a few friends who are married and living there permanently too, and they recommend it highly, any information you may have for me I am just catching at straws here...let me have it please. thanks again I will google the agency. Stay safe

sherril

No problem :P

By next January things will have/ should be back to normal. When I first arrived on the Island there were more jobs than there were people, now thats not the case, its 3 people per one job!

I know by next June the biggest brand new school will be built on the Island on Frank Sound road which is up near Rum Point. I work there for Tom Jones Construction as office manager so I will keep you up to date on the progress and let you know when the government start to advertise jobs. Its a local government run school, it has 7 buildings, a pool, a dentist, auditoriums, honestly you name it the school will have it so I know for sure there will be jobs going for TA. XX

Hi,

I am willing to give my assistance & advice to anyone wanting to relocate here, I work for government, first came out 1999.

When I came out I had help from someone living here, it does help, it can seem confusing & even a little frightening if you are not sure of where to start but it is not all that tough

Hi there,
I am on the way to securing a job and hope to move out there soon. One problem I'm trying to get more information about is, my wife who will come out as a dependant on my work permit -- will she be able to look for work? If she finds work, does she have to leave whilst they process the work permit? I've heard it's possible to work for the government without getting a permit- is this realistic? My wife is a qualified HR (human resources) manager, CIPD professional qualification. She also has general experience in retail and teaching english but obviously would prefer to get a job in the HR field. What are the chances/ best avenues to pursue?

Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.
