You need to fill out a work permit application. This can be found on the Home Office website. When the company fills it out, make sure they clearly list concrete reasons why they chose you over anyone else in the recruitment process.

Unfortunately it's not as simple as Jyd would have u believe. Firstly, if you currently employed full time on a student visa, then you are working ILLEGALLY. Secondly, if you want to get a work permit, you will obviously have to fulfill all the requirements to get one which can be very onerous.
