Working in the UK

There is a huge range of opportunities to work in the UK. When you do get a job you will have to find out the sorts of taxes you need to pay and tell the tax authorities what you are up to.

One of the more popular ways of finding a job is via an employment agency, which allows you to either find a short-term job as a temporary worker while you look for something more permanent or should be able to help you find permanent employment.

If you fall ill or have an accident during your time in the UK, you may find our information about how to obtain free healthcare useful.

It's very important to have an idea of how much money you're likely to spend on accommodation, food, transport and going out in the UK. Our cost of living page should be able to provide you with a rough idea of your day-to-day expenses.
