As US citizens you guys will need to apply for a work permit. A work permit lets you work in the UK for more then 6 months but the main thing is that it lets UK employers employ non UK or European citizens to fill the available role. One catch though; the UK employer must prove that the particular role they are advertising CAN NOT be filled by a UK or EU Citizen! Be sure to find an extended stay hotel deal at DHR for your UK trips.
