litle help here! ICAO JAA

Hello folks,
Can anyone give me some opinion about what should I do in this situation?
I am currently a airplane flight instructor in Brasil with about 500 and soo hours IFR multi engine and ect .... However my dream is to fly offshore helicopters.... I never started because here in Brasil it is virtually impossible to get an IR rating for it, so I went fixed wing ways, which I like as well but not my dream job, the helo industry here is booming like no other, and still only for IR/H guys to get in... so I was thinking in get all my licenses converted to EASA and try to go e to the north sea, as I do have An ICAO PPL H as well and I am also an Italian Citizen, I am Allowed to work and live in Europe, does anyone knows if a pilot rated IR for Helo JAA ATPLH and about 80hours in helicopter and 600/ 1000hrs in airplanes have any chance to get employment in the
North Sea? I've checked DAncopters and Bond Helicopters and they are not asking for 500h helicopters only.......plus Any idea about salary and living standards for a New F/O in the north sea???


Thanks for attention!
