Use a an address and tell the bank nothing.. I left the UK in 2000 used my brothers address and live in Bangkok for 23 years..still have my Bank account both Savings and current.. just drip feed it once in a while.. the bank are just being nosey..
You will be able to get a multiple re.entry permit at the Airport when you depart.. so you will have no issues when you arrive back subject to the visa still being valid.. easier at the airport ..done it many times its very conveniant..
You can't apply for your work permit yourself unless you set up a company. If you still work for the company they will have to apply for it .. and the permit belongs to the company .. they will also have to prove paid up capital.. I think now its over £100k or
