There are certain things that you must do and that we need to check before you start your new job.

Right to work in the UK

You must bring documents showing your right to work in the UK before you start work at the University.

Please complete our online right to work form, and use the link you will receive after submitting the form to book a right to work appointment.

Temporary location change for on-campus Right to Work checks
Heslington Hall will be closed from the 16 December until 5 January. During this time, right to work appointments will be held at Providence House.

If you have booked an appointment between these dates, please visit us in Providence House for your right to work check.

We need to see you and your documents together. It's not possible to send your documents in or have someone else bring them in for you.

If you don't have transferable permission to work in the UK, then you will need to obtain work permission before starting work. There are further details in your letter of appointment.

Other employment checks

We need satisfactory references to confirm your appointment. If we haven't already done so, we will now contact your referees.

Your appointment may also be subject to other conditions - please check your appointment letter for details.

Start date

Your appointment letter will normally mention your start date, including the time and where to come on your first day. If your start date isn’t confirmed, or if you’ve asked for a different date, we will contact you as soon as possible to arrange this.
