Right to Work

If you are offered a position at Clare College there are certain checks that we have a legal legal responsibility to carry out and the most important one is ensuring that all our employees have the legal right to live and work in the UK. Therefore, if you attend for interview or are made an offer of employment, this will be subject to the College verifying that you are eligible to work in the UK before you start work.

1. If you are invited to interview:

If you are invited to interview, you will be asked to bring original documents from List A or List B (below) and a copy will be taken, or if you hold a 'digital immigration status', your Share Code will be required to access this status online.

2. If you already have a ‘digital status’

If you already have a ‘digital status’, then you will need to raise a share code via this page: https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work. You will need to send Sally Hewings sh435@cam.ac.uk the code and your date of birth, and we can then view your status online, prior to interview

3. If you cannot or have not provided evidence at interview stage:

If you cannot provide evidence of right to work in the UK at interview stage, this must be provided before you can take up employment with us. It is your legal responsibility to do so.
