Overview
Prepare for Jobs in England
Set goals
It’s key to take a moment to think about what you want to get out of your experience. Setting goals makes your time abroad more impactful, and helps you focus on what matters most to you.
- Explore your passions. What interests you about living and working in England? Is it the work experience, the opportunity to explore different cultures, or the chance to see the country’s famous landmarks on your days off?
- Assess your priorities. Are you looking for a job that’s high-paying, or one that offers meaningful experience and growth? Clarifying your priorities can guide your job search.
- Consider long-term impact. Think about how a job in England could benefit your career. Will it help you build transferable skills? Or could it open doors for future opportunities in other countries?
Understand the benefits
England is known for its rich history, beautiful countryside, and buzzing cities. But working here also brings a ton of perks.
- Work-life balance. In England, work isn’t everything. Employers value time off, offering generous holidays and respect for personal life, so you get the best of both worlds – career growth and downtime to explore or relax.
- Hidden gems beyond the cities. While cities like London steal the spotlight, England’s small towns and countryside are equally captivating. Places like the Lake District or Bath offer a slower pace, perfect for getting away from the crowds.
- A Nation of Contrasts. England’s charm lies in how old and new coexist effortlessly. You’ll find historic castles alongside cutting-edge tech offices, making it a place where tradition meets innovation in the coolest ways.
Things to know
Before you get ready to work in England, it’s helpful to keep a few practical details in mind:
- Language - English is the official language, though accents and dialects vary across regions, so be ready to adapt! If you're not a native speaker, brushing up on your English will help you adjust quicker.
- Transportation - England has an excellent public transport system. The Tube (London’s underground train system) is perfect for getting around the city, and national trains can take you anywhere from the countryside to the coast. Buses and trains are affordable, especially with student discounts.
- Cost of living - The cost of living can vary depending on where you live. London is notorious for being expensive, but other cities like Manchester or Birmingham are more affordable. Just be sure to budget wisely for rent, transport, and daily expenses.

Summer in Italy!
January 09, 2026by: Breanne Phee - CanadaProgram: Exploring Hospitality & Culinary: Work in UK Hotels
In October 2024, I learned about Scotia Personnel and the work they do to help young people like me travel the world. My name is Breanne P., and I am in my second year of university. Since I was young, I dreamed of travelling the world after I finished school. However, after learning about Scotia Personnel, my dream happened a lot sooner than expected. Last summer (May 2025), after Scotia Personnel helped me figure out all the logistics of my trip, I was able to fly from Canada to Italy and live there for three months. During these months I lived with a lovely family with a mother, father, 13-year-old son, and 11-year-old daughter. They also had two cats and a nanny who was so sweet. I was shown and told my responsibilities, mostly picking up and dropping off the kids at their functions and doing activities with them. We would go out to eat, go exploring, go to the park, or go dancing. On the weekends I would take the train and visit a different place in Italy. Sometimes I even went with the family to different places. I also had a week off, so during that time I decided to go to Paris in France and Barcelona in Spain. I made some wonderful friends there, connecting with other solo travelers when I was going places alone. My family was so sweet and it was so AMAZING! During the hours I was off, I would either meet with another au pair or hang out with some Italian friends I met there. During the whole trip I visited so many different places like Pisa, Florence, Rome, Cinque Terre, and more. Furthermore, I made so many great friends from all over the world: Africa, Sweden, the USA, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Amsterdam… And I had so many new experiences. It was one of the best decisions of my life, and I am so happy I did it!
Breanne thank you for sharing in such detail your experience in Italy. It is great to hear you made connections with others from all over the world!
2 years in America = 2 years of the best time ever!
May 02, 2024by: Summer Fedor - CanadaProgram: Exploring Hospitality & Culinary: Work in UK Hotels
I was an Au Pair with Au Pair in America in 2020-2022! Scotia Personnel helped me get connected, helped me with my profile, my visa application, and placement. Marilyn and Richelle were incredibly professional, encouraging, and insightful! I couldn’t have done this experience without their help and continuous support. I lived in Los Angeles, California as well as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ! I can’t believe I got to live in two very different states. Both experiences were so awesome. I loved the relationship I built with the kids and the family! I also made so many amazing friends from all over the world. If you’re looking to have the best abroad experience, I highly recommend using Scotia Personnel to accomplish your dreams !!

2 years in England as a chef
July 28, 2023by: Holly Carter - CanadaProgram: Exploring Hospitality & Culinary: Work in UK Hotels
Scotia Personnel helped me travel to England in 2018, where I stayed for 2 years. They made the process so easy, from helping with the visa, paperwork and finding a job, to moral support through the process. All the staff I worked with were so friendly kind and helpful. It really made the process so much easier and took the fear out of it. They also set me up with a life changing experience. I was 19 when I went, and taking a job abroad, learning about other cultures and traveling the world has forever changed my life. It was an enlightening experience and gave me a level of independence like no other. Not to mention memories that will last me a lifetime. If you are debating on taking on this process, I strongly encourage you to do so, it will change your life forever, in a way no one can take from you. This is your time, and Scotia Personnel is a great first step towards it.
Can't thank them enough ♡
July 05, 2023by: Gabriella AlFarkh - CanadaProgram: Exploring Hospitality & Culinary: Work in UK Hotels
I went through Scotia Personnel to come to the UK on a hospitality program, and both Marilyn and Rochelle were so helpful and kind through everything! I had a lot of worry about moving overseas and starting a whole new job, getting a visa and going through all of the processes of temporary immigration. Having the guidance and step by step help from Rochelle was a lifesaver when it came to the visa and bank issues I had. And Marilyn is absolutely the sweetest, checking in on me and making sure my move was as seamless as it could have been. Any time I had a question even while being in the UK, I knew I could have contacted them and they would have helped me out immediately. Just a few months ago while I was at the hotel I'm working at, Marilyn actually came for a visit and she was just lovely, we got to chat about my experience and she offered to help me in any future endeavors. I csnt recommend them enough! I have gone through other agencies before like this, but we're nowhere near the level of professional Scotia Personnel was. Anywhere else I want to go, I'd definitrly want to go through them. I got to travel so much as well during my time here, I've seen so many countries and met so many people, without Scotia none of that would have happened. ♡♡♡ cannot thank them enough.
Wonderful Experience with a Supportive Agency
November 17, 2022by: Kendall Nestor - CanadaProgram: Exploring Hospitality & Culinary: Work in UK Hotels
I went through Scotia Personnel to au pair with Au Pair in America. Richelle and Marilyn were unbelievably supportive and helpful throughout the entire application process and continued to check in with me while I was in my au pair year in New York City, making sure that everything was going well and that I had everything I needed. Scotia Personnel made sure to provide me with all the information and resources I needed to make sure that my time as an au pair was seamless and enjoyable. Since returning home from au pairing, Scotia Personnel has continued to reach out to me with new and exciting opportunities and has now facilitated my getting a nanny job in a new city. I am so thankful for the opportunities that they have provided me with and for all the love and support I have received from Richelle and Marilyn along the way. Without a shadow of a doubt, I would recommend anyone interested in work and travel opportunities to go through Scotia Personnel.
Amazing agency and wonderful country
October 28, 2022by: Amilie Lavoie - CanadaProgram: Exploring Hospitality & Culinary: Work in UK Hotels
Hello ! I met Scotia-Personnel online in 2014. At that time, I decided to do an other program(Aupair in America) with them. Which I did. I really liked the communication, the help and the professionalism from Scotia. Thats why in 2019 I decided to contact again Scotia to go abroad again with their help but to go to England this time! I didnt know about it before I went, but I realized quickly how amaziiing it is. The people, the culture, the words, the habits, the tea, the biscuits, the love of dogs of everybody there !! It was so far my best experience ever to leave Canada and go to UK. Of course it was good for me because I did learn so much more about the language. I am from Québec-Canada and I speak french as my mother tongue, and I went for few months in USA, so its quite interesting to see the difference with those 2 countries. (By the way, everyone loves Canadians!!!) Also, being in Europe open your mind on more than our huge continent. I am right now done with that program of 2years, and I am writing that from Italy. I am about to do an other adventure with Scotia, thats why I recommend so far England with them !!! for the people, and for the teas !! :) Amilie



Great opportunity!
