WFH Job ideas - life changing illness means I can no longer drive, commuting will be too gruelling

[SingingLikeLarks]

I've just received a medical diagnosis which will mean my life is going to change a great deal in the short term, and likely in the long term too.
The diagnosis means I am not allowed to drive in the foreseeable future (for at least several months and possibly into the longer term).
I have been working two jobs, both of which require driving during work (i.e. driving from place to place within the job itself, not just commuting). Job 1 is only 14 hours per week, earning me £14 an hour, and due to the nature of the work and the employer, there is no opportunity for me to request a change of role that doesn't require driving. (The hospital gave me a Statement of Fitness for Work certificate saying I can't drive, but there would be no options to request alternative working arrangements from this employer).
I started Job 1 so that it could be a small safety net every month, to enable me to launch Job 2, which was a self-employed business - it was in the very early stages, but in a field I have experience in, the overheads were low and (until two weeks ago) it seemed a very realistic and doable future career plan. I had launched the business only 2.5 months before diagnosis. It will be impossible to continue with it without driving.
I need to find something else, and quickly, because we can't meet our family's basic monthly outgoings without me earning something.
It's made more difficult by the fact that the health issue is making me exhausted and physically quite unstable (at least until meds get stabilised /treatment options get decided and instigated). Treatment is likely to be lengthy and quite gruelling. My home location, and my childcare responsibilities, coupled with these physical issues, mean that getting a bus somewhere to commute to work is going to be something I will struggle with, at least for the next few months.
So, I'm considering what my WFH options could be and I could use some ideas - whether it's ideas for job roles that I may not have thought of, or just good job hunting sites for remote roles.
I'm not sure whether I will be able to physically cope with a full-time job initially, possibly I could manage if there is some flexibility. Longer term I could hopefully be full-time again.
I need to be earning a minimum of £16K, but that's the absolute minimum we need to get by on in the short term. Long terms needs to be higher, ideally £25-30K+ but I know that might not be realistic.
Anything high-stress or target-driven is going to be impossible for me to cope with alongside my health issues at the moment. I feel that I need something low-stress, but I don't even know how to look for that. Every job description I read looks completely overwhelming to me right now!
I'm in my fifties, I've had a varied set of career experience, but in niche roles without a huge amount of progression or transferable hard skills, so I think I'm going to have to apply for quite basic entry-level type roles that don't require lots of similar experience. I'm thinking of administrative and customer service (possibly phone-based or web chat). I do have administrative experience, but in niche roles and there are some big areas of typical administrative work I have no knowledge/experience in (Excel springs to mind) and some areas that I struggle with due to ADHD.
My only customer experience was about 30 years ago, I'm finding it hard to imagine anyone could want someone my age for a customer service role, with barely any experience. However, I've been told many times that I've got a good, soothing speaking voice and I do enjoy assisting people. I saw an advice line job, a fuel poverty type thing, that I thought I might be able to do, for example.
I've done some content work, but nothing recent enough for me to have anything relevant to show for it.
I'm terrible at anything sales-y, but I do communicate well with people. I'm good at research and writing. I just haven't done anything in those fields for a long time, so would struggle to show it and my confidence in everything is shot right now.
I've already retrained once in recent years, and although I aced it at the time, my current condition is causing cognitive issues (brain fog, trouble with memory/retention) which makes me realise I am not going to be able to cope with any significant retraining or study at the moment. I would prioritise a basic, low-paid but reliable, job over something that earned more but required more mental capacity and extra-curricular input - I just don't have the capacity.
I think I just need a bit of a boost so I don't sink into worry and inertia about the immediate future - if anyone can throw any ideas at me, please do!

I am so sorry, that it a very difficult situation to be in.

My first thought was could access to work pay for a support worker to drive you or taxi’s? https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work

Make sure you get applications in for non-means tested benefits like PIP.

I was thinking Access to Work too. It might help.

Depending on the nature of your diagnosis, or more to the point its impact on you, you may be able to claim PIP. This isn't means tested and you can work if you receive it. It might help make up the difference between reduced hours and what you need.

I would go for Customer Service Helpdesk kind of roles tbh. I've hired for these sorts of roles previously and as long as you have decent IT knowledge and good communication skills I would likely look to hire you. These managers (IMO) are looking less at age and more at how long you're likely to stay in the role and be reliable. You also have a huge advantage if you'll work graveyard shifts or split, shorter shifts as no one tends to like these, but if you want to work up to full time it might be ideal.

The thing to remember with WFH roles is it's a numbers game. Last time I was job hunting - for a specialised role in my field - it took over 100 applications. You may well need more as more and more people are looking for WFH roles like this. Don't let rejections get you down, just keep applying for stuff that sounds like it might work for you. Even if it doesn't, the more interview practise you get for these roles the better. Good luck 🤞

With your self-employed business is it successful enough that you could hire a Personal Assistant who drives, can help with admin tasks etc?
Access to Work is also worth looking into.

Could you be a PA on Fiverr?

Absolute hugs, so sorry for your diagnosis

I'd look into call center jobs. Especially for insurance companies. Well paid, WFH.

Insurance, like HSE, is an industry that people think is boring - so many people don't apply. Thing is, the roles are often well paid with good conditions

Another recommendation for Access to Work. It seems to be processed quickly, too, allowing you some continuity of work.

Look at ESA too. It's like a job seekers payment every 2 weeks but it's for people with restricted ability to work (you just need to send a doctors note every so often to begin with).
I get this but I'm currently doing an online course to get back into work. I will be able to still claim ESA as long as I work 16 hours or less and can't earn over a certain amount (can't remember the figure).
I don't feel ready for full time work as my mobility and energy & pain levels fluctuate so much but this way, I'll hopefully find something part time and still have this top up to help. All being well, one day I will cancel it and return to full time work.
Sending sympathy with regards to your diagnosis. It's such a shock and the fear about not providing adds an extra stress you don't need.
