I should imagine most of these vacancies would come under local government or health services so the town hall may be the place to start.

You'd also need to check your qualifications, if gained in UK, are still recognised in Spain.

And your EU passport (there isn't one), what country is it from?

Sorry to say but you are making your life harder by moving to Spain and needing to work, some need 2 or 3 jobs just to survive, laid back lifestyle it isn’t.

Good luck

The link below will take you to the European Employment Services Network (EURES) website where you will find most vacancies currently available throughtout the European Union, including Spain. Before the UK left the European Union you would have been able to access these vacancies in your local Jobcentre Plus office and speak with a EURES adviser, however, this service is no longer available. Jobcentre Plus were also able to assist job hunters who successfully obtained employment in another EU/EEA country with some relocation costs, provided certain criteria was met. if you live in the Republic of Ireland this service is available through EURES Ireland.

Good luck.

I think you should check with the Social Services dept of your local Ajuntamiento. You need to establish whether your qualifications will be accepted here firstly. But most residential caring facilities seem to have a social worker attached for the benefit of residents, so there may possibly be opportunities in a private residency catering to foreign people, as in a facility mainly aimed at the Spanish population, a degree of language fluency would be essential.
