👋 we have a property in Rotova, in two years we are looking to move to the property, I will be looking for work, I’m thinking about becoming a carer, would there be a call for this for English speaking people in Gandia and surrounding areas. Not a live in carer but a daily visit carer. I could start gaining experience here before we move, any input would be helpful, thank

In principle, probably, yes. In order to work legally in Spain, even only amongst the ex pat community, you would need to comply with Spanish regulations; the local social services would be able to advise you, You will also need to register as autonomo, self employed, which will mean that you have to make contributions monthly, although there are reductions for the first 6 months or so. You will need a test or to deal with your taxes .
You would be unlikely to obtain an employment contract , unless you speak fluent Spanish and are compliant with requirements here. There are agencies which do mainly cater to the expat population, but I understand that they do not ‘employ’ carers, effectively they subcontract to fully registered self employed.
Would suggest that you search online for these agencies and contact them directly for further information

The two above may be a start, they are both reasonably well known.
