Tutor right to work documents

Have your Right to Work check undertaken by HR:

You cannot commence your employment in the UK until a valid Right to Work check has been carried out

If you are a UK or Irish national:

A manual Right to Work check will need to be undertaken face to face with one of our team on your physical documentation

Please follow this link to book a time to come and visit us, ideally your appointment will need to be a week before your start date. If you are only able to come in on the day that you start work please ensure you contact your HR coordinator via email to arrange to have your documents checked at 9am before you embark upon any work.

Your appointment will take place at Sussex House. Please bring your passport and wait for us at reception.

If you don’t have a passport please bring a copy of your full birth certificate and acceptable evidence of your National Insurance Number e.g. P45/Payslip

If you are not a UK/Irish national

If you hold a BRP card, an eVisa or Settled/Pre-Settled Status under the EU Settlement scheme we ask that you complete the online Right to Work Checking Service for migrants. The link can be found here: Prove Your Right to Work

You can view your own record in relation to your Right to Work and you will receive a “share code”. Please share the code with HR by email or through the online service. We will then schedule a video call with you to verify your identity.

If you can only confirm your Right to Work / Immigration status using physical documentation (e.g. visa vignette in your passport) please let us know. You will need to come into the University with these documents for a manual Right to Work check, and we also ask for scans to be sent through in advance so we can ensure the documentation is valid for a Right to Work check.

 If you hold a Student or Tier 4 Visa that is not sponsored by the University of Sussex, please can you contact me as soon as possible as we will require you to provide further documentation from your University before you are able to commence this employment. (Please note that students from Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) are not sponsored by the University of Sussex.
