Work from home jobs which require mathematically minded ?

I consider myself good at maths. Love an excel spreadsheet! I have an engineering degree but don’t really want to go back in to that as been out for too long. Just wondering if there is any work from home type jobs where I can use my skills. Anyone on here any advice?

Whereabouts are you? There are a decent number of jobs of that nature in insurance, and you could start with entry level/graduate management information roles. Talk to the insurance recruiters.

Catastrophe modeller is the one which leaps to mind, but you'd want to be within reach of London for your office days for most of those posts. Tbh the problem with those jobs is that the young graduates they hire to do the number crunching get bored and ambitious really quickly and move on so you keep needing to replace them. I'd have killed for a highly numerate mum who was happy to keep doing the job in return for a steady decently paid hybrid job and wasn't desperate to move up to my job.

That sounds really good, would you recommend any insurance recruiters please? Also, how is ageism in the industry, would it be possible to enter at 50?

I was in the City in my 20s, but after 15 career break ended up in Civil Service where I'm not using my maths degree, and really missing numbers/spreadsheets, so thinking of alternatives. I'm in London.

And sorry OP for high jacking your thread, I'm in a very similar situation so reading with interest!
