Hi All, newbie here :)
Just wanted to say hello to everyone!

Great idea for a website, i'm sure I will be boring everyone over the next few years

I'm still in the Royal Navy.
My contract expires in October 2010, when hopefully we shall be moving to Adelaide and I will be joining the RAN.
If that falls through, then I will have 22 years electrical experience that I can put to good use either on ships/boats/industry or in peoples homes as a general electrician.

Wife is a ChildCare Assistant (Pre-school Teacher) and we have no idea whatsoever if she will struggle to find employment.

Right, I think thats quite enough boredom for you lot for now
Take Care, see you soon

Ben (and family!)

Hi Ben & Family

Welcome to Poms in Oz.

Whereabouts in Oz are you thinking of moving to?

I assume that the RAN has a presence in all the major ports but I really don't know?

Cheers

Gill

Hi Gill, we are hoping to move to an area just South of Adelaide, close to Christies Beach (got family friends there), which has, thankfully, NO naval presence of any size! :)

Hi Ben and family,

welcome to PIO, I am sure you will find it very informative, a little tip, try to search for answers first as most things have probably been answered

your wife should have no problem getting work as there is a shortage of childcare workers in Oz but they are very hot on qualifications so if she does not already have any I would suggest using the time you have to study for NVQ3 or even the foundation degree in childcare and education, our local authority give burseries to help fund the cost so it may be worth checking out what happens in your area.


good luck

and welcome to poms in oz. I echo what KazzE said about work for your wife. When I'm searching for teachers posts there are loads of posts for childcare coming up - just check the qualifications.
