***For those with experience or knowledge of the UK education system***

Once I complete my GradDipEd in October this year, I am considering going to the UK for a couple of years to (a) build up some experience in a western system and (b) spend some time in Europe.

There are ads everywhere in Australia asking for teachers in to go to the UK. It is also one of a handful of "shortage" industries in the UK.

However, at 43 and without British grandparents, I will have to obtain a WP (or at least my employer will)...unlike a large number of Australian teachers.

Does anyone have any idea to what extent this might limit my opportunities in the UK?
