Hi Vrinda: Welcome to Indusladies! Hope you are settling down well in Birmingham. As far as I know the local Birmingham council would be a good place for information of any kind. Check it out. The job sites, will have a separate category for charitable organisations which you can browse through. Also, the local university might be good place to check for jobs as well, I think. Though I am not sure if it will be in line with the work you have done so far. Hope this helps. Wishing you well with your job search. Sindhu
Hi Sindhu I am planning to move to the UK with family ( hubby and two sons) Aug 2009. Would be great if I could get some inputs regarding life there...like stuff on the schools ,education,job scenario etc.. I am Garima and am presently based at Bombay. Hope to hear from you soon...
Dear Garima, sorry for the delayed response. i did not check this website for a long time. actually we ( my husband and i ) shifted to UK in november. he already had a job in Bangalore and got trnsferred to Birmingham. Other the job situation in UK is v bad. I am looking for a job for 2 months but no luck. my husband works in a bank and according to him the situation will remain gloomy for another year. I dont have any idea as how are the schools here. But watever i read I guess schooling in india is much better. regards.... vrinda
