Remote jobs can be difficult to find and are often highly competitive, with many applicants for each position. In addition to your list, I would recommend checking Charity Jobs.
While it may not have the best filtering options, many charities do hire remote workers with a lot of remote roles being advertised.

Hello @vikki66, thank you for your question.
Iโve sent you a number of private messages today that may provide greater clarity on this matter. The posts I removed contained breaches of our house rules, were discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate.
There have been many reports this weekend, particularly regarding this discussion. Given that the comments were both off-topic and in violation of our house rules, I made the decision to remove them to prevent further escalation.

The last time I had to go to my job centre, was because they said we would lose our benefit if we did not attend. This women tried to get us all to sign up to a course which basically was a learn how to fill in a cv. She let slip she had worked at a local jail, at which point a Jamaican guy jumped up, and said she was a actual inmate, and a argument followed so I signed a attendance form, and left.

My dog hates the fireworks so is quiet in her safe area. But she wakes me at 6am ready to go play.

Indeed, working from home shifts workplace costs from the employer to the employee. Why doesn't the government compensate disabled people for this?

I will just add context to this, that there is a bill currently in parliament, the Employment Rights Bill, which seeks to slightly strengthen reasonable adjustment requests.
Currently, as far as I am aware, an employer is under no legal requirement to inform you why they are refusing a reasonable adjustment such as working from home. The new law will now require an employer to state the exact reason for refusal and there are is a list in the legislation itself of acceptable reasons. Now, the reasons are incredibly broad, but it's better than what we have now when it comes to asking for adjustments.
I have a hope this might lead to more acceptance of work from home adjustments at least.

Hi, thank you for the above - very informative. I'd like to add my experience of visiting Purple (who manage your direct payments for you when employing a personal assistant) to be trained in how to assist my daughter when doing the wages for her PA. We met with 2 people - one was the advisor (who was physically disabled) and her assistant. The assistant helped with maneouvering the advisor and bringing files etc. She also "ran errands" for the advisor and generally assisted with anything she wanted. This enabled the disabled person to be gainfully employed and her personal assistant to both be employed. I think this follows a similar system in Norway where you can have a "live-in" assistant who is paid for out of your benefits. If every person who was disabled in some way could have a suitable person to be their PA, wouldn't this help with unemployment and give the disabled person a better quality of life? Whilst working from home may be the "easier" way for many people, we were built for relationships and, as Jim outlined, you do have to have the mental capacity to work from home as you can become depressed by being isolated. It's also not that easy to get into gaming Jim, either game development or musically. My son, who is not disabled, has been trying for years despite having been to college to study game development. You have to have experience and a portfolio of work for many positions. Data processing is easier to get into but extremely repetitive which may suit some but not others.

Someone offered me a WFH job many years ago.
They said "It's all done from home, you'll just have to travel to XXX once a month". Genuinely not realising that meant it wasn't all done from home! ๐

I'll admit, my knowledge of farming is quite limited, but at least the commute can't be that long right @michael57 ๐ except maybe if you sell at markets I guess?
@OverlyAnxious I've seen jobs like that yeah, listed as "Remote" but then there's still some requirement to visit the office.
@Biblioklept Part of me is hoping this requirement to state exact reason for denial of reasonable adjustments is at least a first step, or with time tribunals will eventually find a line of what is and is not legally reasonable. It's a lot of hope I know.
@Daffodil94 I figured that it was an important bit of information to mention since it does seem to work in sync with this want to get more work from home job available for people who struggle to leave their home more. Covid showed us that there's the capability for it in many industries and roles.

This is not correct. The Transitional Protection only last for 12 months if you moved from Tax credits and you had more than ยฃ16,000 in capital and you still have more than ยฃ16,000 12 months later. However, if during that time your capital drops below ยฃ16,000 and then goes back above it, your UC will end, even if it's before those 12 months are up.
For everyone else the TP lasts for as long as it lasts. Some people will be entitled to it for longer than others, it really depends on each individual circumstances.
