Bank/savings account? You should be on the electoral roll by now. Why not ask them what they'll accept?

Will they accept a declaration from your parents?

Do you have a drivers licence or a provisional drivers licence? They normally accept that
Drivers licence, credit card statement, bank savings account or letter from the HMRC/DWP.

What type of job is it?
I've only ever encountered potential employers asking to see an applicants proof of address documentation to run a DBS check or credit search.

It has your address though? You have to prove address to get a provisional; check with the company.

How do i get a letter from the HMRC/DWP
Take a cheesy selfie in front of where you live with the house number showing.

Have you filed a tax return, requested confirmation of your national insurance number or claimed any welfare benefits in the last 6 months?
can you not use your NI letter
