To wonder if you work from home, what do you do?

Hello! Mumsnet Jobs team here. We've noticed this thread is fairly old now, and some of the information is out of date. We've put together this article of advice, tips and tricks to start working from home. Alternatively, you can look at the work from home opportunities on Mumsnet Jobs. We hope this is helpful!

I don't know anyone who works from home in rl but I see it all the time on mumsnet.

If you work from home, what is your job?

Obviously not referring to sahp here!

The thread title just reminded me of the a web and mitchell sketch

I am a pensions consultant and work from home at least one day a week.

Middle East researcher for a UK consultancy so I work from home but travel to the region 4/5 times a year for a few weeks at a time.

I work for an accounting institute but my position is very specialised so can't say more than that or I'll put myself! Nearly everyone in my department works from home even though we have a big London HQ. It's brilliant.

Oooh ghosty can you tell me more about your role please. I work with LAC for a charity and I'm about to start an MA in education. Your job sounds right up my street in terms of what I would like to do after. Sorry to be nosey!

I work for the Looked After Children's Education Service which over seas the quality and progress of education for LAC young people - we have termly meetings and assist with issues such as school changes, threatened exclusion, use of pupil premium, moves and placements etc

I also work with Care leavers and a careers adviser (which is what I am qualified to do)

Came to the role after 19 year with the same org (council) as a careers bod - been at it a year - I love it but it's very very manic, stressful at times and demanding (I work 20 hours but the role means I often work 30+ to make meetings etc) - it's a new job so it's been a challenge to mould it and it will be for another year I think - crosses 3 depts which complicates things!

Just about to change career, but was in science policy till recently. Few days each month in office and wfh the rest. Brilliant!
