Guest dnav-koala78 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm just new to this forum so hoping I'm posting this in the right place. My hubby and I are seriously considering emmigrating to Australia; we have an 8 month old daughter and are hoping for a better lifestyle than the UK can offer. My husband is a hospital doctor in Transplant Surgery and hoping to get a fellowship out there. I'm a probation officer and have searched what feels like far and wide for info on UK probation officers working in Australia but have had little success. I don't think my husband will have too much trouble getting a job out there as our understanding is that hospital doctors are a wanted occupation but what about Probation Officers? Does anyone know how sought after they are? What areas are wanting them? And any ideas on what the salary out there is like? If anyone has any info at all I'd be really grateful. :spinny: Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!! Dnav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dwaldron Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello I have researched this area because I tried to become a probation officer in the UK but they were not interested in my application! The probation service here seems to be more integrated with the prison system and is handled by each states department of justice so when job hunting you need to look at each state. When I last looked there didn't seem to be much demand, I guess that is a good thing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
