You will be struggling to find work anywhere in Spain at this time as the covid problem has put thousands of people out of work. Spain has one of the highest levels of unemployment in the EU and any of those types of work you mentioned are easily filled by people who already live here (and are desperate for work) and probably able to speak fluent Spanish.

Moving to Spain next year will prove to be much more difficult than it has been while the UK was in the EU. The only way you might gain employment is if an employer can not find a suitable person within the EU to fill that particular post and that you are the only person available. The employer will then need to sponsor you.

There will be several other requirements to gain residency, such as income and healthcare, bank accounts and rental agreement/deeds to prove to the authorities that you won't become a burden on the state.

Hello

I can only endorse what tebo53 has told you. There are thousands of spanish nationals out of work, looking for anything to do ( I have a temporary neighbour from Madrid who is doing just that) Then there are thousands of fluent spanish speakers from other nationalities looking for work also.

The rest of the dilemma of moving & living in Spain legally has been explained to you, it's a serious situation and not likely to improve anytime soon....sorry

Cheers
