Starting out in UK.

Greetings :D
I've posted on here before but I'm seeking further clarification about what my options may be. I will keep this plain and basic so I can receive honest and basic feedback.
I'm Australian. 30 Y.O. Single. No major responsibilities. Recently obtained my Bach of Ed (Primary). No teaching experience (except for the professional experiences I did thru university). Planning on heading to UK soon on a Working Visa for two years to teach over there through a recruitment company. The beginning of my teaching career.
The working visa has a duration of two years. HOPEFULLY, in those two years I would have gained at least a solid year of teaching experience. Not much, but there's nothing I can do about that.
I don't want to return to Australia (personal reasons) but want to continue to teach primary in an international school somewhere. I would love to teach in the European region but I'm keeping my options open, so I'm prepared to go almost anywhere as long as the school brings the best out of me and the salary is comfortable enough to live on.
My questions:
What countries would be willing to hire a NQT with limited experience?
Would attending a job fair assist me with that limited experience?
