Work in England after Brexit?

2023-10-18

Brexit, which formally came into effect on January 31, 2020, brought significant changes to the United Kingdom's (UK) relationship with the European Union (EU) and had an impact on the employment of EU citizens in England (a part of the UK). Here are some key changes and information regarding working in England after Brexit:

1. Immigration Status: After Brexit, the UK introduced a new immigration system that applies to both EU and non-EU citizens. Currently, EU citizens need a special immigration status called "settled status" or "pre-settled status" to live and work in England.

2. Work Permits: The UK implemented a requirement for work permits for citizens from outside the UK, including EU citizens who arrived after the end of the Brexit transition period. EU citizens who obtain settled status or pre-settled status do not need a work permit.

3. Changes in Recruitment: Recruiting workers from the EU may become more complex, and employers must adhere to new rules for hiring foreigners. This could affect competition in the job market.

4. Working Conditions and Wages: Brexit did not directly impact working conditions and wages, but EU citizens still need to be aware of their rights and responsibilities as workers in England.

5. British Pound Value: The exchange rate of the British Pound against other currencies can affect the attractiveness of working in England, especially if you are sending money to your home country where a different currency is used.

6. Education and Healthcare: EU citizens with settled status can still access the British National Health Service (NHS) and the education system. It's essential to understand the rules for accessing these services.

It's worth noting that the situation regarding work and immigration can change, so it's always advisable to check the latest information and regulations. If you plan to work in England after Brexit, it is recommended to consult with the relevant immigration authorities and employers and have a thorough understanding of employment rules and immigration status to avoid misunderstandings and legal issues.
