Have you tried any indirect hunting tactics? Going to a tech meet-up and seeing who's hiring? Talking to people in the sector can also put your mind at ease when you relate to people with similar problems.

Might also be worth looking at University job boards if there's any Uni's in your town. I worked an academia job part time because it was all I could find, but I learned a lot and the work felt great compared to most office jobs. Might be a good stop gap for you, as they tend to be fixed term contracts I think.
