Finding a job in Jamaica WI?

Question

Hello

I currently reside in Canada, I am looking to move to Jamaica, my partner lives there, I have my degree in social work and would like to do this there, however at this point I am willing to pretty much do whatever. I am hoping to be in Jamaica by Sept. I have searched the internet for jobs and I haven't had much luck, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice to help me with my move.

thanks to anyone who can offer some help

Answer 2

Within the past couple of weeks, someone who has moved to Jamaica to work posted a long answer about this.  Bottom line is that it's very difficult.

I suggest you go to the official Jamaican government website and look for your info there.

Answer 6

Sunday Jamaica Gleaner - Classified section. A lot of jobs are posted there.

splashjamaica.com is also a good site for finding jobs.

Since you are in social work, you can try emailing or calling the Ministries to see if they have available openings.

However, the way Jamaica operates can be a very "it's who you know" kind of thing so it could help to have your partner ask around.
