Hi I am a newly qualified nurse in the UK with a bachelors degree. Me and my family really want to move to Bermuda.
Any advice around finding a job and accommodation? I will want a nursing job and my husband is a chef we have 3 children of school age also.

You may have trouble getting a work permit with three school-aged kids. Bermuda Immigration has decided that the way to address school overcrowding is not to allow expats with large families into the country (although they are more likely to give exceptions if you work for the government, such as a nurse at the hospital).

You will automatically be refused unless your household remuneration is at least $125,000/ year.

Bermuda Hospitals Board (a government agency) hires nurses, so you could contact them directly. I suppose some of the elderly care homes also hire nurses, you could probably do an internet search and ask if they are looking for people.

There are plenty of restaurants so your husband should just contact restaurants there to see if they need help.

Remember that most of the "Help Wanted" ads in the Royal Gazette and Bermudajobboard.bm are published purely to comply with immigration laws and the employers already have someone lined up for the post they are advertising. So don't just stick to replying to those.

Bermuda schools are pretty useless so you should look into whether any private schools will take your kids and how much they cost (be warned: it's a lot).
