This is a complex answer. Anyone can work but there are restrictions if you are under 18. Less if they are 14 and less.
"If you are under 14, you are not allowed to work at all except in the following types of work:-
- to take part in sport, advertising, modelling, plays, films, television or other entertainment. The employer must apply for a licence from the local authority
- to do odd jobs for a parent, relative or neighbour
- to do babysitting – see under heading Babysitting."
Under 18 are under school leaving age and can not "be employed in work other than light work. You are not allowed to do work which is likely to be harmful to your safety, health, development, or work that will affect your attendance at school or participation in work experience. You are not allowed to work:-
- in a factory or in construction work
- in transport
- in a mine
- on a registered merchant ship."
The above quotes where taken from the Citizens Advice website.

At 13 you can only work a few paid hours each week - ie a paper round.
You can start working full time at 16 (presuming you have left school).
