The British Embassy, Consulates General and British Council are not authorised to operate an employment service, and cannot put job seekers in touch with employers.

Useful information:

You can receive information and apply for job vacancies with JobCenter Plus website before leaving the UK. Two leaflets are available, "Working Abroad" and "Working in France".

ANPE is the French employment service. You can receive information and apply for job vacancies on the website. Once in France you can register at an office of the ANPE. Bear in mind that you are unlikely to find French officials or employers speaking fluent English, and most employers will expect candidates to have an adequate working knowledge of French.

Other possibilities

If you wish to seek employment with a British company in France or with a French company which does business with Britain, you can arrange to insert a paid classified advertisement in the monthly review issued to its members by the Franco-British Chamber Of Commerce & Industry
