UK bank account for expats

Dear all,
I'll start to work with EZY soon and need to open a bank account in the UK in order to get paid. Could anybody share any infos about what to do? I know how to open a bank account but I'm looking for infos regarding the best deal for expats. I will remain a NON-UK resident so please take that into account. I would like to be able to use my money outside the UK and be able to transfer some money into a european bank account with minimum charges. I had a look at the "Passport account" at HSBC but I understood that the fee to transfer money is around 15 pounds for each transfer and 2 pounds everytime you take cash money which is quite expensive. Any FR (UK-based) or EZY pilot willing to give some infos?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards
