You can filter job sites to look for working from home or home based some call it. Make sure you can commit to working from home consistently with your toddler around, you only have to look at MN to see how many people are struggling to do just that!

There are a lot of remote customer service based roles available but as the poster above has said these sorts of things are difficult with a toddler around. I think a lot of work from home opportunities actually come up when work for an organisation in an office based role and then once they trust you they allow more flexibility. I have an office based job but can work from home whenever I want.

You cannot work effectively with a toddler around, so you have two options, take up a half arsed "job" where you might earn a bit of money, or get a proper work from home job and arrange childcare. If you return to education what will you do with your toddler while at college or uni?

Wee one is due to start nursery in sept have applied for other part time role jobs that might help pay for childcare if I do go back to education
Although flexibility is a strain if this is the path I want to go.

Contact Tracing, very work at home!! Equipment & training supplied.
I am failing to copy the link but just google 'Track and trace'

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 08/05/2020 17:46

just google 'Track and trace'

That gives me Royal Mail. Confused

You need to be a qualified nurse to do contact tracing I believe?

Try sensee they are a legit customer service working from home job. You need a small space to use as an office to get started.

Setting aside some flexibility by employers at the moment, the vast majority of employers take a very dim view of people working from home whilst also looking after a child at the same time. Quite rightly because you can't do both well at the same time.

You could always try what i do. I do Usborne books at home and its really flexible i do whenever i want and gain free books for my girl too :)

Another option is to look for out of hours care coordinator work.
