Getting a job and Employment problems
Once you understand the regulations concerning your right to work here (see Can I work here?) then you will need to find out how to go about getting a job. One of the most frequently used organisations for job finding is the Employment Service. This is a government agency and is also the direct route for people who are looking for work but need to claim benefits. You will see the Jobcentre sign in most towns and all cities. Jobcentres are an access point for the Employment Service. However there are other sources of help and you can find some of them listed below.
