Jobs in the UK
The UK is one of the most popular destinations in the world to travel and work. If you’re from Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, a young professional, and looking for a job abroad, then it’s likely you’re going to come to the UK.
London is a city full of young professionals and it’s the place to be if you’re in your twenty’s.
If you’re aged 18-30 and from a country outside the European Union then you can apply for a youth mobility visa (YMV), which allows you to live and work in the UK for up to two years. Your YMV allows you to work in any job, from working in a bar in Edinburgh to teaching in a small school in Somerset. You’re only limited by your ambition and imagination.
If you’re from a country within the EU, then you can work in the UK without a YMV.
Australia isn’t the only place you can pick fruit. There are almost 250,000 farm businesses in the UK and many are looking for farm hands. But don’t think it’s all outdoor work. If you want a job in the city, you can do that too.
We'll send you to places you've never been to before, to try new things and to meet new people.
Working in the UK will look amazing on your CV and make you much more employable for the future. All you need to do is apply for your YMV and get yourself out there.
Working abroad really gives you the opportunity to get to know a country, to become a part of a community and to learn valuable skills for life. Not only that, but it can further fund your gap year and travels. You’ll gain a lot more through working in a country than just passing through it... working in the UK will change your life.
