Yes, but your employer HAS to inform the Council first. |

it's legal so long as you have a work permit, you need to get the school to sign it to say they give consent etc. |

There are a lot of restrictions on what work a 15 year old can do, and most reputable employers will not consider employing someone until they are past school leaving age (which isn't necessarily your 16th birthday!). The main restrictions are:
"In England, Wales and Scotland young people aged between 13 and the minimum school-leaving age may not do any work, paid or unpaid:
- before 7am or after 7pm
- for more than two hours on a school day or Sunday
- before the close of school hours (however, Local Authority bylaws may allow young people to work for one hour before school)
- for more than 12 hours a week during term time
- for more than five hours (13 to 14 year olds) or eight hours (15 to 16 year olds) on Saturdays and during school holidays on weekdays
- for more than 25 hours in total a week - 35 hours if aged 15 or over - during school holidays
- for more than four hours without taking a break of at least one hour
- in any occupations prohibited by local bylaws or other legislation, for example in any industrial setting, pubs, betting shops, or in any work that may be harmful to their health, well-being or education
In addition, young people must have a two-week break from any work during the school holiday in each calendar year. " |
