Suitable work with a severe startle reflex

I currently work as an Allied Health Professional but I am struggling due to my startle reflex. If my phone rings or someone sneezes or shouts suddenly I can fall over. I am waiting to start a new job but it's in a similar environment. My boss has noticed how bad my startle reflex is and has made me non- clinical until I leave.
I need to change profession. I need to work in a quiet environment or one with a low level of noise & limited sudden noises. I'd be happy to go back to college & do a non advanced course. I'd ideally like to be able to home work a few days a week due to fatigue & I can limit sudden noises at home but this isn't essential.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to what jobs might be suitable?

Hi @the_velvet_girl,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Scope's Support to Work service is a good place to begin as it would enable you get advise from an experienced adviser.

I'm considering an administration or computing course as I thought I might be able to work from home in these sectors. I am open to any suggestions though. How much does the Support to Work service cost?
