Hi Alison, 

If you are a UK passport holder and want to live in Spain permanently you will need to apply for a visa. You will need to meet the income and healthcare requirements. 

If you want to live and work in Spain you will need to secure a position first and then your prospective employer will need to apply for a work visa on your behalf.

All work  must be offered to an EU citizen first by law and if they cannot find a suitable candidate within the EU then they can offer the position to you.

If you want to retire to Spain then you will need to apply for a non lucrative visa. There are financial and healthcare requirements. 

The financial requirements for a single person are an income of around €27,000 per annum and full private healthcare. 

Steve.
