Sorry to rain on your parade but unemployment levels in Spain have always been one of the highest in Europe and they are now even worse due to COVID. Any job available would need to be offered to a Spanish national or EU citizen first so making your task almost impossible.

You can set up your own business but again you will have to jump through even more hoops since Brexit, you now need a lot more money/income to even qualify for residency. You also need private medical insurance for you and your family. Take a look at gov.uk website to find out the monetary and other requirements required for the different visas you may need.

Good luck

You will need to apply for residency at the Spanish embassy while you are still living in the UK.  You will need to prove that you have the income and healthcare requirements for you and each member of the family.

Hi darren. It is not quite the same area, but i have a great opportunity and am looking for the right people to help and offering a four bedroom house to rent at a low price if you want to chat. Whatsapp711054628. If you want to even get some help or advice then i can either reply or give you the people who might be able to help. If you do come over and need somebody to translate for you or help just get in contact. Good luck. I know it is much more difficult to move here now. You might even want to come over for a bit first and see what you think.
