With a UK working holiday visa, you are allowed to work in any job from a casual short term gig to a full-time position for up to three years. Unlike some other working holiday visas, the UK working holiday visa has no work restrictions, making it easier to land a job in your career field. Like in Canada, the job you land will be a reflection of your qualifications and previous work experience.
