Re: Hoping to move to Southern Spain
No not too personal at all, I currently work assessing children for lots of conditions such as ADHD, ASD, attachment issues etc I also working are of supporting titration of medications. The NHS has contracted out some services. Since COVID many jobs have been made remote and use video link up with client and their GP.
I am happy to go back and forth to UK but maybe not every week.
companies I have spoken to have said they would not have a problem with me working from Spain but what they say and what they do may turn out to be very different.
does your friend go back to UK frequently?

Have a look at my original thread about it, though bear in mind this was posted before Brexit so some of the UK tax stuff may have changed. My mate won't have a clue, he leaves it all to payroll (!), so I'd rely on the guys on here for up to date info
Live in Spain, work in UK, some clarification please!

Re: Hoping to move to Southern Spain
The NHS is selling itself to the private sector bit by bit so video consultations on behalf of the NHS with the nurse paid by a private company comes as no surprise, its Boris's wet dream to get shot of the NHS. Spain trains more nurses than it needs hence the job shortage and IIRC 9,000 Spanish nurses are now working for the NHS in the UK so the chances of a brit nurse walking the wards in Spain are slim to say the least so online work is the OPs only realistic option.
If I were her/he I'd not move without the Irish passport, it makes things simple and the hubby gets rubber stamped entry.

Maybe the OP has plenty of cash but if not, what happens if you lose the NHS job? While it might be fine today, tax laws can change and suddenly you have limited options with no Spanish or another foreign language. Unless you have specific skills, it might also not be easy to find remote work that pays the salary you have today. Apart from the advice not to rush into buying, getting a mortgage is not always easy either. Like anywhere there are credit checks and outstanding mortgages need to be considered too. Then what about the husband who is a highly skilled joiner/carpenter?
