Work as an Au Pair or Nanny in the UK

Totalnannies Ltd operates a cultural exchange program, placing candidates with professional families in the UK. We offer the possibility to learn about a different culture and language while living with a host family. In exchange for accommodation (a private bedroom or apartment) and a weekly income, the au pair must look after the family's child or children and help with other chores. This program requires the family and nanny to comply with guidelines, designed to keep both parties happy. It is free to all candidates, and benefits include a weekly wage, holiday pay, all expenses paid, post-placement support, a flight contribution, a completion certificate, and company backing throughout the stay. Families often travel to the mountains in the winter and to the sea in the summer, as well as other destinations worldwide, and the candidate travels with them. Hence, this program offers a unique opportunity to travel and make new friends while learning about a different country and language.

A Guide to Working Abroad in the United Kingdom

Locations

The United Kingdom, comprised of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, is a no-brainer destination for English speakers on the hunt for international work. Picking between these four nations can be difficult, but if you know what you’re most interested in exploring, it’ll be easier to choose. If you have FOMO, know there’s also a superb transportation network in the UK, so you can visit the other countries on weekend trips.

England is the largest nation in the United Kingdom and home to the biggest cities with the most job opportunities in the UK, namely London, Manchester, and Liverpool. London is a high-energy place to live and work abroad, with every type of food you can think of (including some of the best curry ever), a great nightlife, and no lack of fancy museums to tour. Though Liverpool and Manchester are smaller, they are no less interesting. If you’re interested in following in the footsteps of the Beatles or getting involved in the film industry, head to Liverpool, the Capital of Pop. If chemistry, technology, or a groovy lifestyle are more up your alley, go hang out with the Mancunians (the peeps of Manchester).

To the north there lies the grand, untamed country of Scotland. From bagpipes to haggis, Scotland is a travelers’ paradise in terms of cultural immersion, and there is no shortage of nature walks to embark on that makes you feel like you’re starring in your own Game of Thrones sequel. Just take note that winters get cold and windy and summers come with midges, so dress accordingly. The two biggest cities in Scotland are Edinburgh and Glasgow, and both offer job opportunities in most fields; although, there is a strong emphasis on science and the arts in Scotland. The cost of living in Scotland is slightly lower than in England, but the cities are considerably smaller and have a vastly different feel.

On the west of the main island lies the nation of Wales. Distinctly set apart from its English neighbor with its Celtic culture and history, Wales is a beautiful place with a predominantly rural countryside. Only a two hour train ride away from London, but with only a third of its population, Wales caters to nature-lovers and upscale travelers, thus providing many jobs in the hospitality sector. If you’re interested in buildings or the performing arts, take your resume to Cardiff, one of Europe's smallest capitals that packs a punch for its size.

Located on the Emerald Isle, Northern Ireland is home to time-worn rocks and old legends. Its capital and most lively city is Belfast, which is home to music-filled pubs, a floating museum, and great restaurants for all. If you’re interested in frequent cultural happenings and the diversity of a larger city, but don’t want to get lumped with hordes of tourists, Belfast is a great option for jobs in the UK. If you also get the Titanic theme song frequently stuck in your head, you’ll be in good company.
