The changes that many businesses have made during the pandemic means there have never been more opportunities for flexible and part-time work.
There are different ways of working flexibly. From Job sharing, where people do one job and split the hours to part-time roles when you work fewer hours or fewer days. It might be possible to do some or all of your work from home or to do full-time hours but over fewer days. Older job seekers might even consider a phased retirement – where you can reduce hours and work part time, choosing when you want to retire altogether.
Jobcentre Plus is a government agency supporting people of working age from welfare into work, and helping employers to fill their vacancies. With a presence in almost every area of the UK, you can call into your local Jobcentre Plus to ask for help and advice related to government support, benefits and services.
Since the Coronavirus pandemic, many businesses and employers now offer the opportunity to work remotely. Here are some resources that might help you understand what remote working opportunities are available.
