Im looking to move to the IOW with my partner and family, i have always worked for the NHS in a care home and would like to stay in that line of work if possible. i work with disabled people but would like working with elderly people too, are there many care homes on the island? Thanks, Helen x

Hi Peppa Pig,

If that's your line of work your in luck! Lots of care homes always looking for people to look after the elderly/disabled or those with learning difficulties. Also St Mary's Hospital advertise for Health Care Support workers fairly reguarly.

The above is for the Isle of Wight County Press our main newspaper here.

And this is for the NHS. Just put in PO30 in the 'search location' section. If your willing to commute to the mainland, check out vacancies for Portsmouth and Southampton as well. Good luck with you move. I moved her last June with my girlfriend from London and we don't regret it!

Hi Peppa Pig as Einstein says there always seems to be vacancies in the care profession so hopefully you will soon get a job.

I've lived here five and a half years now and although I have to travel off the Island quite a lot I just love coming back home!!
