Welcome to the Forum Tom :)

You are able to receive JSA (Job Seekers allowance) for up to 6 months while you look for work. Your Jobcentre should have all the information you need. This is providing you are a British Citizen.

At the top of the page > Handy Tools > Expat Guide will give you more information regarding the move to France.

Good luck on your journey.
