From NZ to Bern.... Hello :)

Hey there,
Im a kiwi girl and Ive just moved over to Switzerland (Bern) to live with my (swiss) boyfriend. Ive been here for almost 6 weeks now and I really do love it here (of course the summer helps!) but the people are great and the lifestye is sweet

My holiday is coming to an end and my next mission is to find a job so I can stay! Ive just recieved my British Passport, so working and living here will be a lot easier but I do need some advice:

How easy is it to find work here with knowing almost no German?

What sort of jobs are available for english speakers?

I studied Sociology at a University in New Zealand and I worked for 2 years as an assistant teacher for children with disabilities which is definetly a passion of mine because I love working with children... Ive also had lots of hosipality experience and I have worked in retail before.

Can anyone help me??

would love to hear of what people think is possible

How are your German skills?

If you have been an assistant teacher, check out the British
school there in Bern.
