About work from home jobs in the UK

Many home-based roles are in areas where all you need is a computer, a phone and a reliable internet connection. Common examples include customer service and live chat advisors, administrators and virtual assistants, data entry clerks, content writers and copy editors, bookkeepers, recruiters, telesales and appointment setters. Experienced professionals will also find home-based roles in software, marketing, finance and project management.

Flexibility varies a lot from job to job. Some home working roles have fixed shifts, especially in customer service, where you log in at set times to answer calls or messages. Others let you choose your own hours as long as the work gets done. Part time home working jobs are popular with parents because they can fit around the school day. Always read the advert to see the hours, contract type and any equipment the employer provides.

Be careful of adverts that ask you to pay for training, a starter kit or a "registration fee" before you can start work. Genuine employers do not charge you to get a job. If something seems too good to be true, contact our support team before sharing personal details.

Working from home works best with a little structure. Set up a dedicated space, agree clear working hours with the people you live with, and take proper breaks away from the screen. If you are new to home working, a part time or fixed-shift role can be an easy way to see whether it suits you.
