Hi, I am looking to move to Alicante/Benidorm. I am a qualified Paramedic. I have full time Ambulance experience as well as Helicopter Search and Rescue.
Looking for any medical work in that area.

If you are a UK passport holder you will need to apply for a visa to be able to work anywhere in Spain. You will need your prospective employer to sponsor you with a work visa.
Since Brexit, any available work must be offered to an EU citizen first. If they cannot find an EU citizen to fill the position then they could offer the position to a non EU citizen.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your reply, my wife is an Eu passport holder so that shouldn’t be an issue. We are looking at living in Spain full time.

Do you speak Spanish? Really good Spanish.
First step would be to see if your qualifications (paper) are recognized here.

Unfortunately not, I would consider doing an intensive course prior to getting out to Spain though. I understand not speaking Spanish would be a problem.
I am Registered with the HCPC in the Uk. It’s a pretty universal qualification.
