My wife signed on at some agencies, and one of them had work for people putting cd's and dvd's into boxes.
She was shown around the factory in Rugby and should get some shifts this week.
£6.25 per hour is not great but it's a start.
When you arrive in the UK and go looking for work.
You will need proof of address, so I suggest you should get your name on the council tax form and take that around with you.
Get a bank account also so you can tell the agencies where you want to be paid.
Go to the Jobcentre as soon as you arrive with your passport and the proof of address.
They will take down your details and you will receive your National Insurance Number one month later.
They will give you a letter to show that you have applied for your National Insurance Number. This is acceptable to show the agencies even before the number comes in the post..
Don't forget that work is hard to find in the UK at the moment.
It depends where you will live.
Best of luck.
