Moving to Manchester!

Hello guys,

I live in South America but I have the Italian Citizenship and me and my same-sex partner would like to move overseas and have considered Manchester as a good option for us. The thing is that my partner currently does not have any Citizenship from a country member of the EU and we would like to know if we register as civil partner he could get some kind of legal documentation to reside in England without any problems.

I hold a Bachelors Degree in Marketing from an American university and he holds the same degree but from a Venezuelan university. We both speak English and Spanish. Would it be hard for us to get at least an average job ? By average I mean that we would get paid enough money to have a regular daily life (Having dinner at a restaurant, going to the movies, drinking beers at a pub every once in a while).

What are some good places to start looking for a room/flat to rent where we can live while we settle down, find jobs, adjust to the city, etc?

I hope to read from you what you have to say soon, I appreciate all the advice you guys can give to us.
