Help finding work
You can use the ‘Find a job’ service to search and apply for jobs
Paying tax
If you’re employed, the tax you pay will usually be taken out of your salary automatically
Getting a National Insurance number
You might already have a National Insurance number if you applied for any benefits or have one on your BRP.
Working in the UK
When you find a job with a UK employer you’ll need to prove your right to work. To use the online service you’ll need to have a BRP or a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.
Where you can live
You can live with family members, sponsors or in a property of your own.
If you’re aged 66 or over
You can apply for Pension Credit to get extra money each week.
If you have children
You can apply for Child Benefit if you have one or more children in the UK with you. If successful, you’ll get £21.80 a week for your eldest or only child and £14.45 for each additional child.
Universal Credit
You can also apply for Universal Credit. This is a benefit paid to you each month if you do not have a job, cannot work or you’re on a low income. The amount you get depends on things like if you have a child or need help with housing costs.
