If my boyfriend from England was living in the US for a year or so would he be able to get a job here?

It's actually quite complicated. Applicants need to have the right visa to be able to work. You should look up the american visa processes.
If he is on a student or tourist visa, no.
If you marry him, yes.

Presumably he would come on a tourist visa,which limits the length of his stay and specifically forbids working. If he married you, he could then apply for a green card (resident alien status). But because so many people try that route to get around the laws, he and you would be subject to rigorous investigation, and he would be in a limbo ( and perhaps even deported) while that was going on.
The only way for him to get a work visa is to have a job lined up before he moves, with the prospective US employer filling out all sorts of forms in advance.
