Description

The Work England program allows you to work abroad in either a pub or hotel, along with affordable housing. The Work England program gives you the opportunity to work and live Britain like an insider. You will get to experience the true nature of the British people and immerse yourself in this country, which is rich in culture and tradition. Working in a pub allows you to use your customer service skills to interact with locals and make friends on the job.

Placements are mostly located in the scenic and historic counties surrounding Greater London: Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Middlesex. There is excellent access to London by train from these locations, and you will find it easy to get around on public transportation to explore your new surroundings.

After taxes and accommodation, you will receive approximately GBP145 -GBP195 per week. In some cases, you will receive discounted meals. The minimum hourly wage in Britain is GBP4.92 for people ages 18-20 and GBP5.93 for people 21 years and older.
