Good morning - I suppose you meant "could get work" instead of "would ..."

Have you started learning French yet? The BBC website is as good a place as any to start. You will only learn the basics in a 2 month course.
Have you searched on the internet for old folks homes in the area?
Have you asked someone in a French consulate or embassy to translate your various qualifications and CV into French?
You will also need a covering letter for job applications - une lettre de motivation.
You can also start having a look at jobs in your area on the pole emploi website.

There are quite a few expats in Brittany - never quite understood why anyone from the UK would want to change one cold and wet area for another - but this could provide employment opportunities for English speaking care staff. But bear in mind that French employers usually prefer taking on French nationals. Even more so in times of economoic difficulty.

Have you told Newcastle about your planned move to discuss health care? If your or your husband's NI contributions are up to date you should be granted up to 2 years' cover (but only 70% - private insurance needed for other 30%). After that, no work here means no health care - so full private insurance needed.

Good luck in your preparations

Ian

Thankyou
