Of course it is much harder for Brits today, because of Brexit.
But I met people working in Czechia from all over the world, from far outside the EU.
It is still perfectly doable. There are companies and free services which will help you.
Brits looking to go abroad, I suspect, look (or looked) first at Western Europe. It's close, it's familiar from holidays and so on.
There is a perception that Eastern Europe is poor and deprived and there's nothing to go there for. (Sorry to my many Czech friends: to the rest of the world, Czechoslovakia is Eastern, even though it's west of Austria. Czechs like it to be called Central Europe.)
This is not true. It is a land of opportunity at present, with lots of foreigners there for work. There are lots of jobs and a need for workers with foreign languages, and far less ageism than in the West.
BUT salaries are low. It doesn't look appealing on paper. It should be, because the cost of living is very low in most ways, so a small paycheque goes a long way, but a salary in Brno of 1/2 to 1/3 of Berlin looks bad... but the cost of living is 1/3 to 1/4 so in fact it's a good deal.
This is equally true of and for Americans. And they'll get healthcare and people don't have guns.
