For most working travellers arriving in the UK, getting a job in hospitality, administration, labour, or sales is often the best way to go. Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, and Canadians make up a large portion of the workforce, especially in London and increasingly outside of London in places like “real England,” Scotland, and Wales.
You’ll find that the British appreciate our strong work ethic. Since the main goal is often to make money to continue travelling, we travellers are perfect for filling many positions that need hardworking and energetic people.
The range of opportunities is vast and diverse compared to back home, so take a moment to think about what you want to do.
Recruitment agencies are usually the quickest way to get jobs, the challenge is that they are not interested in helping you until you are in the country. To help with this, we recommend you subscribe to our email list so you can stay in touch with whats is happening in the UK jobs market.
