Stay where you are until the job shortage improves a bit, hopefully next year. A crap job is better than no job just now. And its better to have some money and be in a job so that you can have time to find something else. Plus I think that people prefer to employ someone who are already working.
A good friend is really struggling to get a job and seeing that has made me realise I wouldnt ever choose that situation if I could avoid it.
Plus you have the upkeep of an RR to consider!
Good luck x

ps I think staying in a job for 12 years shows commitment and that you are not chronically dissatisfied like most other people down here…however if you hated that job for the whole 12 years, that’s a different story.

thanks for the support chaps, as an update:

I’m negotiating with the Union the possibility of doing the downgraded post on protected earnings, ie. my wage won’t change for 4-5 years so that could be an option. I could then take my time job seeking.

My assistant however has simply lost her job completely and she has been there around 10 years.

As you can imagine morale is not too great there at the moment!
