Spain has always had really high unemployment and the COVID situation has made it worse so there are many skilled and unskilled people looking for work.
You will need to reach certain criteria to receive a visa of any type for work or otherwise.
Any job will have to be offered to Spanish and EU citizens first before any offer is made elsewhere and working in Spain is harder than doing so in the UK with long days and usually low pay. You will also need to get the correct visa before travelling to Spain which for a job would, I believe, need to be sponsored by the employer.
If you decide to start your own business then there are more hoops to jump through and even more stress, take a look at the gov.uk website to research the various requirements for this and other employment and visa options.
Sorry to be negative but that is the situation, good luck in your search.
