After completing my one-year master's course, can I start applying for jobs there in UK?

Yes, after completing your one-year master's in the UK, you can start applying for jobs. You are eligible to apply for the Graduate Visa (post-study work visa), which lets you stay and work in the UK for up to two years (subject to change).
You do not need a job offer to apply for this visa, and you can work at any skill level during this period.
If you wish to stay in the UK longer, you may later need to switch to a work visa such as the Skilled Worker visa, which has additional requirements.
How long can you stay and work after a UK master's?
Post-study work rules are changing. Know what you will actually get.
