Hello Everyone,
I have just signed up on here, hoping for a bit of clarity really. I saw another thread about another British Cop with 16 years experience looking for work but I can't view the post for some reason. Long story short, I have traveled round Oz at the start of this year and fell in love with the place, big time. I have 6 years experience as a Police Officer included some specialist skills/national qualifications in different fields. I also used to work in the Mental Health Service and can bring to the table a lot of varied experience and skills, but like the majority of Cops, not many qualifications recognized outside the Police Force.
I am willing to do pretty much any job - ideal dream job would be an RSPCA Inspector but the research into that and speaking to some members of senior management made it clear they prefer Australians for the job and wouldn't support Visa's etc. I've looked into other jobs such as being a generic Private Investigator but there is education required to work right away. I have also set up my own small Aquatics business where I live, varied interests! Basically I am wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation, desperate to move, but not sure what job/field to look at?? I have and always will have a passion to hands on help people, to make a difference as cheesy as that sounds, but really at a loss as where to even start, the only certainly is Australia, preferably NSW, Brisbane, well general east coast area but I really don't mind.
Can anyone offer any support or guidance? Thank you so much, really would appreciate any feedback.
*edit* No I dont have a visa, looking to relocate and a career change but can see that doesnt seem to be an option...
