Work UK

The Adventure

What is Work UK

The UK has been a popular destination for Aussies and Kiwis doing working holidays. Each year over 30,000 Aussies take advantage of their Working Holiday Visa (Youth Mobility Scheme Visa – Tier 5), their UK passport, or the UK Ancestry Visa.

Working in the UK allows you to gain valuable international work experience and the opportunity to travel. We have partnered with several live-in pub and hotel service employers throughout the UK. CCUSA’s Work UK program will provide you with job placement, accommodation, and visa assistance.

We accept applications year-round, but you must apply at least 8 weeks prior to your desired start date.

Additional Notes

You can also choose to add “The Youth Mobility Scheme Visa Assistance” or “UK Ancestry Visa Assistance” option to your Work UK program which enables our Program Partners to fully hold your hand through the entire process. Their visa consultants will complete your visa application for you, check all your supporting documents and only submit it when everything is in order. Furthermore, they offer a “No Visa No Fee” promise – so if you don’t get your visa they will refund the cost of this service (obviously so long as you have been completely honest).
Please note: The “Youth Mobility Scheme Visa Assistance” or " UK Ancestry Visa Assistance" fee does not include the UK Government's Entry Clearance Fee or the International Health Surcharge which is payable directly to the British High Commission once your application is complete and ready to submit.
