    In theory yes, but only contributions-based JSA.

    In practice, the bureaucracy involved is incredible, and the necessary papers would probably get "lost" on the way.

    I have noticed that they do have foreign jobs listed on the jobcentreplus website but I think you would need to mention to the jobcentre that you have applied for them.
