Jobs for the wife

[sbsshadow]

Afternoon all

I am totally new here, and only just dipping my feet into the world of considering a move to Finland from the UK, I have worked in IT for 25 years as (desktop support, deskside support, IT Technician) and my wife is a carer in the UK

Anyone have a rough guidline of what carers get paid in Finland ? Currently she drives from one house to another doing care work, so breakfast, lunch and bed calls

Thanks in advance, hoping to learn a lot here over the next few months

There will be a language barrier to many carer jobs. Here's one statistic which says 2150€/month.

Yes, true, obviously it will be for older-people and I dont suppose a lot of them speak English

Why Finland?

from the UK,

If you are a British citizen, I assume you are aware that Brexit removes your legal right to live and work in Finland.

Do you already have a job offer or are you looking for jobs?
IT R&D is the only larger field in Finland with jobs for people who are not speaking Finnish, IT positions with customer interaction require speaking the language.

and my wife is a carer in the UK

She will likely spend the first year unemployed in a language course.

There is free movement at least until the end of 2020 and existing rights will be protected.
