Hi Mikey, welcome to the forum.

Beware!!

There is absolutely no way your friend can provide you with a work permit, unless he is an approved licensed UKBA sponsor.
Take a look here to learn more - Sponsor application checklist

If you have a student visa you are allowed to work for a specified maximum number of hours. I believe it's 10 hours per week, but I might be wrong.

Anyway take a look at this video from UKBA all about student visa.

Mikey ... to the friendly, online filipino/uk community. By all means take a look at the link provided by my friend and fellow Moderator, Terpe. But like he ALSO advises ... tread warily where [purported] provision of work permits are concerned.
