One way of coming to work in the UK is as an employee of someone who is immigrating or returning to the UK.  If you are between the ages of 18-65, you may accompany them and work for them by applying for a domestic worker visa.  This type of work applies to nannies, housekeepers, chefs, drivers etc.  The requirements for this type of visa are fairly simple.  You must prove that you are living with your employer, and have been in their employ for at least a year prior to making the application.  Your spouse and children are allowed to come to the UK with you provided that you have living accommodations and wages to allow you to provide for yourself since you will not be eligible for government benefits.

Domestic worker visas can be obtained initially for a 12 month periods and can be extended if requirements continue to be met.  You will need to provide proof that you are living with your employer, and you can even change employers during your visa period as long as you stay in the same type of work.  A job such as this can also provide opportunities to see other parts of the world because you are entitled to travel with that employer when in their employ.  Likewise, you may remain behind in the UK if you choose not to accompany your employer out of the country, as long as your employer is returning.  If your employer intends to leave the UK permanently, you will have to leave as well.

Another way that the UK government has made this type of work easier for employees coming to the UK with their employers is to allow them to return to their home country for visits or personal reasons without any difficulty gaining re-entry to the UK.  You need only carry proof of employment with you.
