To ask what job you do that means you can work from home?

[TallWomanWalking]

I am just being a tad curious and nosy.

What jobs do you do that mean you can work from home?
And does it pay decently?

I'm an admin manager for a community companion driving service franchise (Driving Miss Daisy!). Basically answering the phone (mobile), taking bookings, dealing with invoices and the odd driving job so am private hire licensed. Not huge money but enough, varied days, get to meet some lovely people and can take time off as and when I want/need.

Also, Utility Warehouse is really good. I have a friend that earns a full time residual income, from work she has already done plus monthly commission on top

that's bullshit about Utility warehouse. It's just another MLM scamalamadingdong www.facebook.com/timelessvie

She will be making claims of success in the hope of recruiting you ....

Nope not at all! I am already with them and make a reasonable income from it but I don't work it as I don't get the time. But I've seen time and time again how people DO do it

I used to teach full time but due to injuries sustained after an accident and subsequent medical issues I'm unable to do so, due to pain and the amount of medication I'm on etc. I'm desperate to work from home in something flexible (I teach piano a few evenings a week but don't want to clog up any more evenings or I wouldn't see my own kids!). This is giving me some great ideas- thanks!

I'm a vicar and work from a home that goes with the job. There is the small,matter of faith and vocation but I've loved working from home. The downside is that I live over the job and I get all sorts at the door.

This is a bit cheeky but if anyone is looking for an experienced international project manager that's WFH, please PM me :-) I've been struggling to find anything part time (max 28hrs) per week where I can work from home.

Thanks!

Civil servant. I don't work every day from home as I have to be in the office in London for meetings with external stakeholders (I live in the Midlands), but it is fully flexible and as long as I get the job done I don't have to account for my time to each individual minute. Makes life so much easier.

I'm a financial adviser. Left an employed position in an office 4 years ago and set up my own practice.

I do need clients to come to the home occasionally, but usually I would go to them. I am out between 5 and 10 hours a week (depending on distance away etc) and the remainder of the time is admin based. I also do a lot over phone/email. My office is a summerhouse in the garden.

Freelance translator here too. Earn enough to cover the bills and fund modest lifestyle, could earn more if I tried harder on the client acquisition side of things (but I hate that part!).

I bloody love not having to go into an office, not having to abide by any rules but my own and don't care if I don't see anyone but the postie from 9-5. But I'm an anti-authority introvert, so it suits me down to the ground.

Client relations for a global business consultancy. I work part time (3 days) from home. Equivalent ft salary £30k. I always worked in this area but took a pay drop to join a company that would let me do part time and WFH. No travel costs and works great around dc nursery

Debbs Which of my roles did you mean?

Freelance project manager/consultant on a contract basis. I do work for financial services companies in London.

Tend to do 1-2 days per week at home. I have nearly a four hour return commute to London so makes a big difference to tiredness levels and work-life balance.

I can do some chores around the house. However I'm less productive at home so I end up working harder and possibly longer hours on the other days to make up for it

Pay is £550-650 per day on a self employed basis so less tax but also no sick pay/company pension/paid holiday.

Standandbecounted sorry, the freelance writing.

I'm also going to train to become a doula in the future, training to be a soul midwife first x

I'm in IT. I work on technical solutions. Part time and pretty well paid. It's also very flexible. I miss the office environment but it's a godsend with the DC in school.

Before I moved abroad I was a chat host on online bingo...worked from home whilst DD was tiny. Only minimum wage but didn't have to pay childcare or commuting costs.

Just needed good laptop and fast broadband

Debbs No not through a company. I write a lot for my marketing job and have to contact a lot of sites to ask them to publish my content. One day someone just happened to come back saying they'd like me to join their team and provide them a monthly submission. That's just happened again so I now have 2 jobs. I'd also like to make more of it as I have more time I could give it and its well paid for the time I put in

2 days from home. regulatory manager for a global pharma company. 60 k plus 10% bonus

I'm a writer so I work from home quite a bit.
I earn good money and enjoy it.

I love writing but just don't know how to break into it as a 'paid' career. Bat having letters and short bits published in papers/magazines and writing for education courses and reports etc I've never written professionally and don't really have much to put on a CV. Would love to know where to start. I'm writing a couple of books which I may self publish, but not expecting them to earn me much money!

Grr, bar, not bat- that'll be why I don't write professionally!!

I would focus on your strengths, I've mentioned on other threads, say you're good with Maths or English, you could tutor DC's for their 11+ and SATs. I also mentioned Carol V does a service on Amazon, basically revision on subjects learnt, so you can see where support is needed.

I think you can charge £10-15 depending on qualifications etc.
