First thing first, you need to familiarise yourself with the ecosystem by downloading the package from wordpress.org it has a readme on the website that will guide you on how to set it up on your computer.
If you're financially buoyant enough you can purchase a wordpress course on Udemy, check the one made by 'Maxmillan Schwartz' , welcome to wordpress is the name of the course. Dedicate some time to digest the content and practise as you learn.
And if you want to go the self-taught route you can check out some word press crash courses on YouTube. you can find many helpful videos that will get you up and running.
After learning, you can create a portfolio and showcase the work you did, with this you can start applying for jobs on LinkedIn, Indeed or Ziprecruiter.
Don't limit yourself to jobs in your local area only as many web design jobs are remote based.
