There has to be a fundamental reason why poorly educated immigrants with
poor English can get and keep this sort of job so easily.


Yes, they are cheaper.

There is a legal limit on how little workers may be paid.

Plenty of immigrants ignore that.

That's why UK wages have been depressed
by 10% over recent years. ...

In the period 2011-2013, it was wage earners in the top 10% who saw the
big drops in income. Those in the bottom 10% were least affected. In the
past year, incomes have risen by 2.3%, which has been attributed in part
to the living wage.

But that is just the official stuff, not what actually happens in the real
world.
