Work Phone
I have recently been given a work phone iPhone SE which has its own number.
I have an iPhone 11 for personal use.
Can I use the same Apple ID on both phones?
iPhone 11, iOS 13

You can sure, but there will be side effects to that.
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and Messages and Facetime on both devices, then calls, and messages and icloud data will be synced across both devices, so you will get calls and messages from one phone on the other phone and vice versa. You might want to verify that your work allows this.
If you just want to share purchases, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, and have a different Apple ID for iCloud, Messages and Facetime.

Yes, if they are connected to the same Wifi network when the call comes in.

Work will allow me to use my Apple ID but as I have 2 contracts with 2 different numbers I’m not sure how it would work in regards to texts and calls.

But if they are not on wifi and just 4G then it would only ring on the phone which had the SIM card for the number rung.
Correct.
Check with your work to see if they have a device management program on it. If not, see if it would be possible to use your ID on it. If you do, make sure you remove it if you ever leave the job.
