Hi,
Since Brexit you can't just move to Spain and apply for residency without some sort of visa.
To be able to move to Spain and work you will need to apply for a job in Spain whilst you are still a UK resident.
If you are successful with gaining a position then your prospective employer will need to apply for a work visa from the Spanish consulate in the UK.
Note: All work positions available in Spain must be offered to an EU citizen first by law.
Best of luck.
Steve

You haven't mentioned if you hold a EU/EEA passport. If so, it is easier for you to move to Spain and work. If not, you need to apply for a visa to live and work in Spain at the Spanish Consulate in either London, Manchester or Edinburgh. These links will provide you with a little light reading:
