Hello, I plan on coming back to Thailand end of this year. I am from the uk and wonder what are my options on visas with how long I can stay? I want to stay for a year if possible, is this possible on multiple entry visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK citizen can stay in Thailand for 30 days with a visa exemption. Alternatively, a 6-month multi-entry tourist visa can be obtained online from London for £150, allowing for a total of up to 9 months with two border crossings.

Get a Multi-Entry Tourist Visa. Good for up to nine months with two border bounces

You can get a 6 months multi entry tourist visa from london [it’s all online] for 150 gbp. That will give you upto 9 months .

it's to be with my girlfriend and potential work here. Is it possible I can apply for the multiple entry work visa?

you have to have a job before you can apply for a work visa.

The multiple entry non-B is a pretty rare visa.

I see so what visa would be best for me if I wanted to stay for 6 months or is this not really possible?

if you're not going to be working you can get a multiple entry tourist visa from your home country before traveling. This visa type is only available from your home country.
