Hi sarah & jase
My husband subscribed to seek (free) and was sent jobs for his trade daily (hgv mechanic) not a problem for his trade over here but not sure about teaching I'm not that clever !!! with 2 kids of my own dont think i could cope with 30 in a class room all day lol.
We were lucky with property as i've an uncle over here that got ours for us but i do no that rentals at the moment are hard to get and as for areas i'm not to clued up just yet but i'm sure someone on here is and would be able to help you. Where we are in thornlie is nice and have primary & secondary school side by side which is excellent for us, and only 5 mins away on bike or car.
Just bear in mind the hgv licence is not transferable over here they changed it all last year not good for us cost us a fortune to get it over there and now it's no good to him got to resit it again.
There's hundreds of jobs evey week on a wednesday and a saturday in the local papers so dont think you'll have a problem getting something, we came with the same attitude we'll do anything.
Are you bringing your furniture with you? If so i will strongly reccommend Excess international cost us just under £4.000 to ship a 20 ft container over with our gear in (3 bed semi ) only took 6 weeks and everything intact when it got here, most impressed and very professional at there job.
Anyway It's good to talk to you got to go now cus it's thunder and lightning here big time lol keep in touch Tracey, Dean xx
