Apologies if this doesn't directly answer your question, but it sounds like the immediate problem is financial - are you able to quickly get a contract in an area relevant to your experience (project management, perhaps?) to tide you over while you work on your CS skillset on the side? Being in the UK as well, cwjobs.co.uk has been my best source for contract jobs, though I do get some good offers through LinkedIn every now and then.
