Definitely go and see an Independent Financial Advisor (it always amuses me that that's IFA.....), they have the flexibility to look at lots of packages not just at one lender. If you can show a good period of time working, whether in one position or many (and by that I mean wage slips) then they should be able to get you a reasonable deal.
Out of interest, I'm on my second house, and myself and the ex-husband have always worked in Archaeology. We often didn't tick the boxes for the standard lenders, but that doesn't mean you have to go for a more expensive deal, just that your financial advisor has to work a bit harder!
Good luck!
