Little to no work in Spain for non Spanish speaking Brits.  Occasionally low pay low level work comes up washing pots or working in a bar usually 5-7€ per hour. This would be sporadic and not secure enough to fund your lifestyle 

You will need private healthcare insurance and would need to go fully legal for tax purposes.

You will need about 3000-5000€ to cover set up costs and as a cushion while you look for work.

Don't give up your home in the UK that way if you run out of money or cannot find work you can go home

There may be sites out there but because there are so few opportunities and so many people looking people don't need to advertise. Crappy paying jobs are snapped up quickly because people are desperate.

Not fluent in Spanish severely restricts your options. Most towns in the South have a Spanish contingent. It's not like benidorm where you have 90% British and all year round activity. Even there you would still only get something low skill low pay.

Not great news but honesty is best
