you will have to transfer your visa to your sponsor once you find the job. and you didn't provide enough information as to what field you are woking in, making it difficult to assess the ease or difficulty of finding a job.

Legally you cannot work being on a family visa which is not a work visa. However, you can search for job and convert it into a work visa along with the process of changing your sponsership from your wife to the employer
