Write a good cover letter that says you will wash aircraft, sweep hangar floors, run parts, help the mechanics, drive trucks, organize trailers, paint walls, hang dry wall, clean toilets, take the thrash out, answer phones whatever is needed to help the company operate and achieve your dream at the same time of becoming a professional pilot.
Great, devalue Commercial pilot licence holders value even more, and drive down wages even more. I am sure employers love people like you. Spend £100k plus on a licence, to sweep floors.
I promise you will build your hours quickly within said company develop your life skills and have an incredible adventure. You could also save for the CFI or IR doing it while being around the industry
Not in the UK you wont. Get an FI rating, or an IR, or go fixed wing
