Work in England: Everything you need to know<\/h2>\n

If you are wondering what your life is going to look like if you decide to move to the UK, we\u2019ve got you covered. England is famous for many things, including their royal family and buildings like the Elizabeth Tower (formerly and still known as Big Ben), and their red double-decker buses. <\/p>\n

And nowadays Brexit is also one of the big topics that comes to mind, when it comes to England. This probably also goes for people – like you – who are interested in a job in England, wondering if you need a VISA or not, how long time you can stay etc. We will answer your questions if you keep reading.<\/p>\n

Work in England & VISA for European Citizens<\/h2>\n

The British work culture is very different from many places. Several expats always talk about how kind and chill the work environment in England is. What is highlighted about working in England is their sense of humour, also during work<\/b>. So be prepared for a great deal of humour and interactions on a daily basis. Also, it is common to see birthday celebrations during work, or an afternoon to socialise. This depends on your type of job, but it\u2019s very common in England.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s not get confused, because British people actually work really hard on their duties, which make them value their well deserved relaxation<\/b>. Going out with colleagues is common in England, so each Friday you can hang out in a pub at night to socialise.<\/p>\n

Quick cultural tip: Be open to suggestions. The British like to give constructive feedback, so if they tell you something to improve your skills or your method, don\u2019t take it personal.<\/p>\n

With their balance between chill and hard work, England is a great place to gain experience at any job for starters. We can help you if you want to take the leap, and you’re always welcome to contact us at info@jobsqd.com if you have any questions. <\/p>\n

VISA and work permits in England<\/span><\/p>\n

After BREXIT everyone\u2019s wondering if they need or not a VISA to travel to England, even being from the EU. Almost everyone needs to request a VISA if they expect to spend more than 3 or 6 months in England<\/b>. However, this can change depending on the type of work, so HERE<\/a> you have an official website from the British government to check which visa you need.<\/p>\n

Work in London<\/h3>\n

The British big city with the highest commercial activity in the UK is London, and it has 1.563 businesses per 10.000 residents<\/b>. So you can imagine there are plenty of places to launch your career. If you want to move to London you should know that it is not for everyone, but it\u2019s home to many expats so there’s plenty of diversity. It\u2019s a rainy city with high activity, so you can find a piece of any part of the world in this big city.<\/p>\n

Regarding finding a home, we recommend that you make a list of your needs, e.g. whether it should be closer to your job or not as well as your budget. This will help you a lot getting used to the big city. So get yourself a map and an oyster card to explore the streets to assure yourself a better experience.<\/p>\n

Taxes in England<\/h2>\n

To be able to work you must have the National Insurance Number (NIN) which is your identification number for the tax administration. You can get this by calling and requesting it. They will tell you to go to a job centre responsible for your district. It can take two or three weeks to get an appointment, and since you won\u2019t be able to work without this, we recommend you to call two or three weeks before arriving in the country, so you can have your appointment the day after you arrive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Basic facts about the UK<\/h2>

The United Kingdom consists of\u00a0England,<\/span>\u00a0Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.\u00a0 England occupy two-thirds of the island of Great Britain and offshore islands as the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly. They border Scotland to the north and Wales to the west.<\/span><\/p>

As a kingdom they have their own monarchy which is one of the reasons why England is so popular. The late Queen Elizabeth was on the throne since 1952, and she was highly appreciated in the kingdom.\u00a0Furthermore, you can experience the joy of all four seasons in England. Also, everything is kind of closeby in England.<\/span> If you wish to visit another village it is around 30 min away by car or 2 hours tops, so you can plan weekend trips to get to know the country<\/b><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

England\u2019s culture over the years<\/h2>

Culturally, England has been a homogeneous country regarding its traditions, but with the expansion of the British empire it started receiving customs from many diverse countries including Afro Caribbeans, Asian, Muslims and other immigrant ethnics. This has made England a highly tolerated country for immigrants. Right now it is settled as the most crowded country in Europe which explains why their VISA requirements to enter the country has been discussed the past years<\/b>.<\/p>

Typical English food<\/h2>

The culinary arts in England may not be the healthiest but it surely is delicious. Their food is based on beef, lamb<\/a>, pork, chicken, and fish, all cooked with the minimum of seasoning and generally served with potatoes and maybe one other vegetable. Their preferred fish is cod or haddock, deep fried and served with fries: best known as fish and chips, and it\u2019s one of the most popular dishes. Their breakfast is a good starter for the day, with eggs, beans, sausage, bread, bacon and salad<\/b>. Cream tea is also a darling, and it\u2019s strawberry with cream and a cup of tea (with a bit of milk). In general, if you are a tea lover, England will be perfect for you.<\/p>

English food is not that spicy, they prefer to add different flavours from various ingredients instead of seasoning too much. Living in England would definitely make you appreciate the mixing between many flavours, it will spread your knowledge about what you consider normal at food.<\/p>

How to find a place to live in England<\/h2>

The availability and price of accommodations or a room in England will depend on the zone you want to live in, and the proximity to public transport. But let\u2019s talk about the MUST-know things about renting in England.<\/p>

• Additional cost: Besides the price of the rent, remember there are always extra bills that you also have to pay, and these utility bills should be included in your budget.\u00a0<\/li>
• We recommend looking for something around 30% of your income, and if it\u2019s in London, you will probably end up with 40%.<\/li>
• You have to make an \u201coffer\u201d: The renting price in the announcement is not necessarily the final one. Renting is kind of complicated in England, and especially in London landlords wait to see the different offers before choosing one that benefits them most.<\/li>
• Deposit: Usually, deposits are calculated about 5 weeks of rent, which you will get back if you didn\u2019t cause any damage to the property during your stay. Make sure your deposit is held by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). If the landlord refuses to return your deposit under false assumptions you will be able to open a dispute and get your money back.<\/li><\/ul>

  When considering budget-friendly places to live in the United Kingdom, it’s important to look beyond major cities where the cost of living tends to be higher. Consider smaller towns and suburban areas that offer a more affordable lifestyle. Places like Nottingham, Leeds, and Newcastle upon Tyne can provide a good balance between affordability and amenities. These cities offer a lower cost of living compared to London or Edinburgh, while still providing access to cultural attractions, quality education, and employment opportunities.<\/p>
