Decided office life isn’t really for you? Don’t panic.
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated many businesses’ moves to flexible working – with remote working consequently more acceptable now than ever before.
But how do you know whether working from home full-time is the right choice for you? And how do you find the best work from home positions?

Work from home jobs are at their highest levels
The pandemic has unquestionably had an unprecedented effect on the UK jobs market. But not all of these changes have been detrimental.
In fact, although often seen as a perk in the past, working from home has become much more acceptable in the current climate – with many employees (especially those in office-based roles) told not to go into the office throughout the various lockdown periods.
As a result, we’ve seen adverts for working from home jobs rise by 482% compared to the same period last year*. So if a permanent working from home position is something you’d be interested, now could be the perfect time to take the plunge.
