Not redirecting upon front-end post submission

Question

That’s beacuse you are calling wp_redirect after you have some buffer output from your code.
you should change the order of the template functionally, meaning that first check if the form has been submitted and then show the page, so try something like this:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Submit Work
*/
?>
<?php

// Check if the form was submitted
if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] )) {

        // Do some minor form validation to make sure there is content
        if (isset ($_POST['title'])) { 
                $title =  $_POST['title']; 
        } else { 
                echo 'Please enter a title';
        }
        if (isset ($_POST['description'])) { 
                $description = htmlentities(trim(stripcslashes($_POST['description']))); 
    } else {
        echo 'Please enter the content';
        }

        // Add the content of the form to $post as an array
        $type = trim($_POST['Type']);
        $post = array(
                'post_title'    => $title,
                'post_content'  => $description,

                'post_status'   => 'pending',                     // Choose: publish, preview, future, etc.
                'post_type'     => 'work',  // Use a custom post type if you want to
                'tax_input'    => array( $type)
        );
        $post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
        wp_set_post_terms($post_id,$type,'Type',true);
            if ($_FILES) {
                foreach ($_FILES as $file => $array) {
                    $newupload = insert_attachment($file,$post_id);
                    // $newupload returns the attachment id of the file that
                    // was just uploaded. Do whatever you want with that now.
                }
            }
        wp_redirect( 'http://localhost/buddypress/thank-you' );
        exit();
} // end IF
