How to find a job in the UK

To find a job in the UK, you can start with Totaljobs and Gumtree. Everyone who wants to find a job in the UK needs first to look for a job in the UK. You can find a job in the UK by searching online for job opportunities in the UK. You can look for recruitment agencies in the UK. And you can look for jobs on Facebook groups in the UK.

Once you find a job, you may need a work permit. You can do this from abroad or in the UK. You can do this together with your new employer or employment agency. Or you can find a work visa scheme to come to the UK without a job offer. Read more below on how to find a job in the UK.

UK citizens and residents do not need a work permit to find a job. The Common Travel Area (CTA) is an agreement among the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies (the Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey), and Ireland. All citizens of these countries and territories can live and work anywhere in the CTA. In most cases, every other nationality must apply for a work permit to regularly work with documents in the UK.

First, find a job, and then you will worry about a work permit if you need it.

Most websites or apps are in English. If you need it, use Google Translate or any other translation service.

    Με απασχολεί το παρακάτω ερώτημα.
    Η κόρη μου εργάζεται στο Λονδίνο από τον Μάρτιο του 2018 μέχρι σήμερα.
    Από τον Ιανουάριο μέχρι το Σεπτέμβριο του 2022 εργάστηκε στην Ελλάδα και από τέλος Σεπτεμβρίου επέστρεψε και εργάζεται ξανά στο Λονδίνο.
    Η απουσία της αυτή το 2022 επηρεάζει σε κάτι τα δικαιώματά της στην παραμονή και την εργασία της στο Λονδίνο;

    1. advocacy@alinks.org

      Γεια σου,
      Εφόσον έχει τη βίζα εργασίας ή άλλη άδεια/βίζα, τότε η απουσία της από το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο δεν θα την επηρέαζε με κανέναν τρόπο. Το μόνο που πρέπει να σκεφτώ είναι αν αυτό την αποκλείει από τη συνεχή παραμονή για πιθανή υπηκοότητα στο μέλλον, για το οποίο νομίζω ότι η απάντηση μπορεί να είναι θετική. Αν όμως δεν σας απασχολεί αυτό, τότε δεν υπάρχει πρόβλημα. Μη διστάσετε να μας στείλετε μήνυμα ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου εάν θέλετε να μιλήσετε σε βάθος σχετικά με αυτό στη διεύθυνση advocacy@alinks.org

      Τις καλύτερες ευχές,
      Lou

    আমি বাংলাদেশ থেকে ইউকে এর gutswalter farm park নামের একটি কোম্পানিতে জবের জন্য আবেদন করেছিলাম, আমার সিভি দিয়ে। তারা সিভি দেখে আমাকে নক দেয় এবং পাসপোর্ট এবং শিক্ষাগত সনদের পিক চায়। আমি দিয়েছি এবং তারা সেটা দেখে আমাকে সিলেক্ট করেছে এবং জব ওফার লেটার দিয়েছে এখন আমার করণীয় কি? অভিজ্ঞ ভাইয়েরা দয়া করে জানাবেন।
