    In your OP you seem confident that jobs are out there. Could you wait for a new job in the same area or within a feasible commuting distance? You would have to turn down offers of distant jobs but if there were just a few weeks involved before taking up a new local job that would solve this tenancy problem.

    As others have said, talk to the Landlord. Given that its three months away, the LL will have 3 months to re-market the property. I was presented with this scenario by a former tenant a few years ago, and having spent a year suing a previous tenant for 4 months' rent only to be awarded it at £25 a month, I wasn't prepared to go down that route again and happily released her from her contract.
