Guest bridge28 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hello I am a complete newbie to this site but I am really hoping that someone out there may be able to point me in the right direction. My partner is in the process of applying for a job in Hobart which is great....for him. I however am having doubts about moving out there after spending a few hours searching for jobs in my field of conservation & ecology and seemingly hitting a dead end. I am hoping that I am just looking in the wrong places - does anyone know of a good site or two where I can perhaps find work? His job would be based in Hobart so anything in and around there would be good..... Also, what do the locals usually do for childcare out there? We have a young daughter (15 months) who we currently place in nursery two days a week and I wonder if we would have the same options there? Is it expensive? I sincerely hope someone can help as it doesn't seem too hopeful at the moment! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Here are a few links to start with. Even if they do not appear to have anything suitable at the moment I suggest forwarding your CV to them to make your name known. Much information is passed around on the grapevine here so the more contacts and networking the better. Although the population of this area is relatively small, ecology and conservation are high profile here and, apparently, this area has the highest number of scientists (and artists!) per capita in Australia. http://www.jobs.tas.gov.au/ http://www.jobs.tas.gov.au/notices/index.php?type=vacancy&id=30571 http://www.csiro.au/Organisation-Structure/Divisions/ICT-Centre/TasICTCentre.aspx http://www.utas.edu.au/ Recruitment Agency http://www.searsonbuck.com.au/ Re childcare: Yes, there are childcare centres here which take children on a part or full week basis. Costs vary from centre to centre and there is a government benefit to help. However the rates have just changed (I believe) and I don't feel qualified to quote figures. You may get some information from the links on this page: http://www.childcare.tas.gov.au/overview/costs_of_child_care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I forgot to mention this one also - the Australian Antarctic Division headquarters which are near Hobart: http://www.antarctica.gov.au/about-us/contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
