to be very honest, it would be almost impossible for you to get a Tier 1 visa without a degree. The other option (Tier 2) rather unlikely also - because you're not a highly specialist professiona, so it would be almost impossible for the company to prove that they were unable to identify a suitable candidate within the European Union (they would have to do that before they could offer you a job) - because your occupation is not on the list of shortage occupations for UK.

But, if you (or your spouse) are citizen of one of the EU countires, you have a right to live and work in the UK under the freedom of movement act (no need to have a work permit).

I agree with Kieron - I would not risk leaving your job to go to UK on a visit visa and look for work. This is a receipe for disaster in current UK job market.
