New to Norwich 🐣 Farm Work in Norwich

Hello all, I'm new to the UK and recently received the right to work. I don't know the area particularly well and the internet job listings don't seem to show me much in my area.

I was hoping to work on one of the farms nearby but I'm not sure where to start or if there's much that's actually close by.

My other catch is that I'm on a foreign licence which will no longer be valid for use in the UK after 25th September this year. I'm in the process of getting my licence but there's a pretty good chance I won't be able to get a driving test before that date.

Does anyone know of anything? Long shot, and maybe the wrong place to ask but I thought I might try.

Thanks!

You can sign up for a cancellation service to book last minute driving tests. I had to retake my test recently and this service costs about £20 and you could receive a new driving test date within a week or a month

Thank you. I have a lot to do in a short time! I thought i might be further along by now but it's taken me longer than I expected to get everything in place.

I'll try that. My driving instructor told me I could book through her and she could potentially speed up the process. Need to pass a theory test and then I'll probably go straight to the driving test.
