As with most things in life there is a batch of rules to complicate the situation. The batch of rules in this instance relate to the type and permanence of the work that you're allowed to undertake and the visa or passport that you hold.

Fax on demand service

This service is designed to assist both consular staff and the public by providing 24-hour easy and quick access to faxed copies of a range of the most frequently requested visa and passport information and forms.

British and EC passport holders

There are no restrictions here on the type and permanence of the work that you perform, bar the fact that it must be legal, of course.

Ancestral visas

You can find a permanent or contract/temporary position in any field you choose. No restrictions.

Working holiday visa

Here is where the restrictions start. The purpose of this visa is to allow you to work in order to fund your holiday, and not to further your career. This work must be incidental to your holiday.

You may not perform the following work:

permanent work
professional work
work that furthers your career

In many situations you will find temporary work through an employment agency. In this situation the employment agency is technically your employer and they have a responsibility to ensure that the work you do complies with the terms of your visa. Reputable agencies generally have a good understanding of the various visa restrictions and employment law. It is advisable to consult them on the type of work that you are allowed to perform.
