You would need these words to restore your wallet but of course this depends on the wallet you used.

Whoah there, partner. If he was paid 300 Bitcoins for a job it would have been many years ago, possibly when Bitcoin Core was really the only client (it wouldn't have even been "Core" then). May not have even supported an encrypted wallet at the time, let alone fancy things like recovery phrases.
The mention of an 'account' in the OP makes me think it may be an online wallet service. Hopefully one that still survives today.
