Get a airbnb apartment for a month. Get your NIE. Get healthcare cover.  Open a non residents bank account. There are loads of private dental clinics you may find a job but not guaranteed. If you get a job get your residencia. Then you are set up and running!!😁😁

Be prepared to return to the UK if you can't find a job. There are no jobs here for bar work unless you are extremely lucky.

She does not know YOUR GIRLFRIEND.  Suggest she take someone SHE KNOWS with her to any viewing.

Sarah, why don’t you contact all the dentists in the area with your CV to see whether there is a possibility of employment.  I would also advise you to have enough money in the bank so that you can survive for 1 year without working if necessary.

IF YOU DECIDE TO VIEW THOSE ROOMS ON OFFER TAKE SOMEONE YOU KNOW WITH YOU.  AND WRITE DOWN ADDRESSES AND LET SOMEONE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING.
