Last resort, Nationwide lets you open a basic account with just £1 and a passport, from there you can at least have a bank statement with your name and address to open another account or just upgrade.
There is no harm in asking HR or Payroll or whoever is responsible. They wont sack you for it or refuse to give you a job. . they worst they can do is say NO.

HR/payroll can either open an account on your behalf(coz you are their employee). . (this happens in the NHS with new foreign employees) or at least they can give you a letter (with BA logo) outlinning that you are a new employee and you want to open an account, you have a foreign address but locally you can be contacted via the company. . that should work.

HEy, I was the first to give the generous offer of using my account. .
