According to EU law spouses have the same right as the EEA national and can work but you may find it hard to convince an employer as many of them seem to be scared to employ illegally. The EEA FP may mean to them that you are entitled to stay for only six months. Do you intend to apply for the RC? If so the CoA you receive may be more convincing though you may have to wait some time to receive this confirmation. Some people reported waiting times of many weeks.

If your husband has something in this guidance that says he can work, he can work:
