Moving to UK or Ireland?

i live in the US and wish i could move to ireland or the UK. i would like to know if anyone from ireland or the UK can answer my questions about how can i move there. how do i find a job and a place to live. id like to start looking now. are there contacts or websites that i can go to. i am currently a child social worker. whats the pay for something like that in London. help me out.

First and foremost - i'd say come and visit first.
Spend a couple of months here, visit different places - see where you want to live.

Otherwise you could make the biggest mistake of your life.

London is overrated in my opinion.
Bath is a stunning city.
Exeter is pretty nice
Cambridge also.
Bournemouth is a great large town with amazing beaches.
Devon and Cornwall are great for the countryside and beaches.

Never been to Ireland.. so i couldn't comment.
(Northern Ireland and Ireland are two different countries btw, N.Ireland uses 拢's and Ireland itself uses Euros)

But like i said - come and visit first!!!!

Oh and it's very hard to get on the property ladder. Rent for a small 2-3 bed flat or house would probably be around 拢700 a month... not including bills. Although you can get much cheaper.
And in London you can expect to have to pay around 拢900+

VISIT!

I would avoid London as the cost of living is abnormal check the local press for jobs you can access these over the net, and you will need a visa to live in the UK also if you go to Ireland they use Euros in the south and pounds sterling in the north.

i wish i can help but i can't sorry
