Myself and my family are looking at moving to the Camposol area shortly to be near family.  I am currently exploring employment options and was after feedback about whether there is demand for an English speaking handyman.  I can turn my hand to most things, I'm reliable, realistic and always perform any task to a high standard.  Would like to hear peoples thoughts about this.

As far as I can see, we have oodles of English speaking handy men. Do you speak Spanish ? Are you registered to work in Spain?  There are quite a few hurdles to cross, especially  now the UK is out of the EU. I suggest you look at the Spanish Gov website for details. There is a requirement for a minimum  income. If you want to work, you need to prove that a Spanish person could not do the job.

So not very encouraging.  Sorry about that.

They won't listen to you ..they will still come over .. Spain's Costa's seems to thrive on failure ..over my 15 years on Camposol the Majority of the Businesses on the Camposol site have changed hands many times ..I have also lost count of private individuals that have come over looking for a job and gone back to the UK within 6 months skint.. it's like a never ending train with people coming and going  ..but don't listen to the profits of doom and gloom like myself ..come over give it a go it might just work for you ...and again it might not so bring plenty of money with you... enough to last you approximately 6 months..you have nothing to lose other than going back to the UK skint... food for thought Spain's minimum wage €641 per month ... UK minimum wage €1,500 per month.
