Hi There 

I'm Kim I do translations and paperwork's etc.. I'm hoping I can help you. In answer to your questions..

1. Are jobs hard to currently get? (We'd both do any type of job) depends on the kind of job, for your wife contacting Hospiten & the care agencies in Lanzarote would be wise: there are several Las Amigas 0034675151572 , Starlight Care Services - T: 0034 636 582 076, Helen's Home healthcare service [email protected], CuralVital Whatsapp: (+34) 682 000 788, plus the ayuntamiento's (town halls that employ carers for a start. 

For yourself - apply to local complexes that rent as maintenance is often needed & the electrics here are well rather unique plus the watts 220 not 240 like the UK. Plus you can get known by talking in the bars, places to advertise would be the gazettelive and Viva magazInes on the island.

2. Do we need to speak Spanish? Is would be helpful to you - to come over with a smattering of Spanish to understand & be understood with. If you wanted lessons I could arrange it easily over whasapp to get you started with (if you wanted)

3. Would a 7 year old from the UK fit in at school? Yes but she would definitely need to speak Spanish and there are private English schools to start off with . 

4. Would we better off renting first then maybe trying to buy at a later date? Renting a 2 bed would basically be 600-1000€ most months. Estar agents will rent with a contract - which you would need to get NIE numbers to work with. You will also need a Spanish bank account asap..

Hope that helps a bit.

Good luck
