He's been looking for another job, but there are none about in his skill set.

A Polish company has been winning contracts that council workers used to do, then bringing over Poles to do the work!
Now that is tough we are always told the local government unions are strong i wonder if that is the case where he works? For all their faults they are or can be a good go between.

If he is working under 20 hours a week its hardly worth getting up for IMO depending on his pay level which does not sound that high as he got tax credits.
