    Right to work in the UK

    Individuals to be appointed must have an existing and continuing right to work in the UK. Evidence of this must be provided to HR before they start work.

    We will ask the individual in their appointment letter to bring their right to work documents to HR. Please note they cannot work before the documents are shown. UK Visas and Immigration would regard this as illegal working.
