Working from home

Diogenes42

Hi,
This is my first post here and I hope someone will have some experience of this. I am increasingly unable to work (self employed) due to ill health and is becoming tight. Where could I find a job that is from home & doesn't involve talking on the phone, maybe using my computer.

Thanks.
Dave

'money' is becoming tight

Hi @Diogenes42 Have you seen our employment page? There's a map to employment services in the UK and your area, and other information and reports here.

How are you getting on?

Hi Sam, I've read the employment page & been in touch with the benefits agency. I don't qualify for any benefits because I'm not ill enough & because my partner works full time. There aren't any jobs that I can do from home (except from being self employed & starting my own business).  I'm just trying to accept my situation really. Dave

That is difficult, do keep an eye out for working from home opportunities, there aren't lots, but there are a few.  

Are there any home based free courses that you could look into to improve your skills and job prospectives? 

These are some free digital courses, these are a broader range of courses and here are free courses from Open University.

I've not found anything that would be suitable, either courses or jobs.
