There are also a few agencies in the UK you should consider, CherryLeaf and
Plain Words being two that spring to mind.

I know there's an STC (Society for Technical Communication) chapter in the
UK. That is a good source for finding jobs in the TW field. Here's the
information from www.stc.org. 

Location:  London, United Kingdom
President:  Nick D. Rosenthal
Phone:  441619687102
E-mail:  nick -at- salftrans -dot- co -dot- uk 

United Kingdom Chapter Web site:  www.stcuk.org 

I'm an active member of the Phoenix, AZ chapter and 95% of my jobs over the
last 6 years have come through the organization and people I've met at
meetings. I'm a freelancer, but there are often folks with captive jobs.

Hi

The reason I ask, is that in the searches I have done for Tech jobs, there
seems to be very few. From one of the stats sites I used, it said that the
number of jobs posted has dropped since last year. The jobs are permanent
though, so are contract positions more readily available?
