In general Asylum Seekers do not have the right to work or benefits in the UK unless they have been in the UK over 12 months, but those who are accepted as refugees can seek employment once they have registered for a NI (National insurance) number.

If you are looking for work and/or claiming benefits (universal credit) it is important to register with the job centre and keep appointments with your job caoach. In Preston the place to go is Job Centre Plus

Every employer is required to check that you are allowed to work in the UK. They do this by looking at your Evisa and share code.
