Hi thanks for all of your replies. You've all been really helpful and its kind of you to offer to meet us i'll e-mail you to arrange it. We'll be arriving 2nd of June and were all really looking forward to returning back to the island and planning our move!

Amanda - is there many vacancies for health care assistants at the moment? I have 5 years experience working in a hospital, most of my experience has been in a maternity unit looking after antenatal and postnatal patients.
Thanks again this is a great site.
