Prove your Right to Work as a non-UK / non-Irish national

  1. Prepare your documents

We need to verify all these documents:

  • Your passport or national ID

  • Your Right to Work document. This is your government ‘share code’ that proves your Right to Work.

If you're under 18, we unfortunately won't be able to hire you. Please come back after your 18th birthday!

What is a share code?

A share code is a unique code used to prove your Right to Work in the UK for non-UK / non-Irish nationals. It is made of 9 alphanumeric characters like W33 P9K ZMH and lasts 90 days. You can generate your personal share code here.

When you’re done, please take a screenshot or a picture of the share code. You will need to upload it to the app as your Right to Work document.

Please note: you can upload your share code written on a piece of paper, typed out, or as a screenshot – the format does not matter as long as we can read it.

2. Complete your online Right to Work check

Please ensure you have a good internet connection, good lighting, and follow the instructions carefully:

  • Please click on the link here to begin the Right to Work check.

  • You will be asked to capture a picture of your passport/ ID and face. Please note this will be in the form of a continuous recording.

  • We will ask you to upload your government-issued share code. You can generate your share code here.

These steps are vital for us to complete your Right to Work check.

What happens next?

A member of our team will verify your Right to Work details. This usually takes less than 24 hours during weekdays, and we'll send you an email once this is done. Please start applying for jobs right away as this will speed up the process of your documents being reviewed. If we have any problems during the verification process, we'll get in touch via the app. Once we verify your Right to Work, you will be able to start working.
