If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, then both devices can already access the same iCloud account.
The iCloud account is defined by the Apple ID.
So all you would need to do is turn on iCloud Photo Library on the work phone if its not turned on.
If you go to Settings->Account (top of settings) on the work phone, is the same Apple ID signed in there for iCloud and iTunes & App Stores? If you only see one email address there under your name, then its signed in to the same Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes & App Stores. Is it the same email account there on both phones?

Huh?

If you are using the same Apple ID on both phones, those photos are already in your iCloud Photo Library.
Family Sharing is unrelated to the iCloud Photo Library.
I can see now that I dont have the same Apple-ID. I thought I had that but I dont. They are different.
when I open the invitation that I sent from my private phone to my work phone, and I open it on my work phone it saya that I already got a membership in a other family? I havent connected to any family on my work phone?
Since its a work phone, its entirely possible you were added to a work Family Group.
Check Settings->Account->Family Sharing on the work phone. It should tell you if you are part of a family group, and let you leave it if you need to.
Family Sharing requires 2 unique Apple IDs.
Using the same Apple ID means you are the same person using 2 devices. Not the same.
So how will I get all my photos on my work phone to my iCloud?
