Looking to live permanently in Torrevieja - have accommodation already - I've worked in the Motor Trade for 30 years in all departments - would consider just selling new and pre-owned for starters.
If you are a UK passport holder you would need the correct visa to work in Spain which is normally sponsored by the employer but the only way you would get a job offer is if the employer cannot fill the position with a Spanish or EU citizen.
Not an easy thing now coming to live in Spain whether looking to work or just retiring here, financial requirements are now far more stringent than before the dreaded Brexit.

Yes it does make it a bit easier but not much, once here you will still need to show you are financially able to support yourself and sort out your residency etc. The unemployment situation in Spain is dire and people work long hours for low pay if they manage to get a job.
Life in Spain is not the relaxed laid back lifestyle shown on the tv shows unless you are financially set up to live like that, I would not like having to work to survive in Spain far better in my opinion to stay with the life you have but it is your life you do with it what you will.
