Epsilon Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 £6.70 minimum wage. You could earn a lot in a week if you worked straight but it depends if you find a job and what it is. Where you should search for a job depends on where you are heading buddy, some areas tend to hire more none uk people for some reason.

Varc Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The minimum wage for 21 year olds is £6.70 an hour whereas if you are younger it is between £5-£6. If you are in London the wages are better I believe but I would imagine it is harder to get a job in London in comparison to elsewhere!

London is really expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varc Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I believe you will have to apply for a VISA depending on how long you plan staying for, also i think you will need a national insurance number which you can find here - https://www.gov.uk/apply-national-insurance-number Not sure but just check ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) The best way and easiest way to get a job in the UK is mainly ringing up or online application for local industrial firms. They normally pay minimum wage with a extra shift rate payment... I used to work at Thortons Chocolate Factory and I was payed weekly at £256 after stoppages. I now work at Tesco Superstore on £7.50/h and I am 20 years old, I hear that Tesco are employing for the Dotcom department (this is where i work) its only contracted 4 days a week 4 hours a day, BUT you also get trained up in other departments so you can work 12 hour shifts if YOU want too.. Very very good company to work for. EDIT: I forgot to add that it is insanely hard to get a job in England. If you 'think' you want a job and you don't try hard enough then you will never get one!
