Right to Work

All Personal Assistants must have the legal right to work in the UK. The easiest way to check this is for employers to check a PA’s UK passport and to take a copy of the personal details page. The passport must have a picture of the PA and state that they are a British Citizen.

If the PA does not have a UK passport visit gov.uk for information about alternative checking processes.

Some volunteers also need to have a legal right to work in the UK. For details see especially page 39 of the most recent Employer’s Guide at www.gov.uk/government/publications
