If you are already living in the UK before the end of the transition period, you fall under the withdrawal agreement. This means that nothing will change for you after the transition period. So you can continue to live and work in the UK. You will, however, need to apply to the UK government for settled status by 30 June 2021 at the latest. The same applies for your family members if they do not have British or Irish nationality.

You will need to have a valid passport or identity card when you submit your application. You are also advised to retain all documents that show how long you have already lived in the UK, to serve as evidence when you apply for settled status. This is important so keep flight tickets, train/ferry tickets in case you need to prove when you first arrived in the UK.

Settled status

EU citizens who have lived in the UK for more than 5 years can apply to the UK government for settled status. This status gives people the right to continue living, working, building up a state pension and using public services in the UK, as they do now. If you have lived in the UK for less than 5 years, you can apply for pre-settled status. After 5 years in the UK, you can convert to settled status.
