UK citizens may be eligible for open work permits through youth programs such as the Student Work Away or Holiday Programs. You would have to contact your local High Commission or an organization such a BUNAC to determine the possibility of such. If not eligible, then a job offer is generally a necessary first step to pursue a work permit.
