With a  UK  🇬🇧  passport  you will find  it  difficult  if  not  impossible  to  get Legal permanent  work,  😉  as Brexit  has made the changes  you  may  have voted  for when UK decided  to leave  EU. You may get  a  few  bits and pieces

If you want to do this legally you will need a working visa but as there is no shortage of EU painters and decorators, you are very unlikely to get one.
Now is the time to hope you have an Irish parent or grandparent.

If you are a UK passport holder and you want to live and work here in Spain permanently you will need to apply for and get a contracted work position. If you manage to get a work position then your prospective employer will need to apply for a work visa on your behalf from the Spanish consulate in the UK. 

Please note that all available work in Spain must be offered to an EU citizen first by law. 

It's highly unlikely that you will find work that you are looking for as there is still high unemployment here in Spain.

Spain is not the land of milk and honey the tv shows represent, better to stay in the UK.

Working in Spain would be a lot harder and more stressful even if you could get a job, which I doubt you would.
