10. Translator

People who are fluent in more than one language can find themselves in demand as translators for public or private sector organisations. In most cases, the work can be done remotely, as companies will send the work to be translated electronically. Aside from fluency in both languages, translators do not necessarily need any other qualifications, but you are likely to get more and better-paid work if you have expertise in a specific field, such as law. Translation jobs are listed online but registering with one or more translation agencies will increase your chance of being hired.

Average salary: Around £25,000 per year.

11. Web Developer

Web developers create websites for businesses, organisations and individuals. They will listen to a client’s specifications and then design a site that is both functional and visually appealing. Web developers need to master coding and programming languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, among other skills, but, once qualified, are likely to find themselves in demand. The tech industry is ever-expanding and the best web developers can command high fees for their services, so there is definite scope for building a successful career from home.

Average salary: Around £50,000 per year.

12. Technical Support Specialist

As the name suggests, this job involves answering technical queries from customers or businesses, and providing assistance for problems with computer or electronic systems. Increasingly, businesses requiring this support are hiring specialists to work remotely. An IT-related qualification or degree will help you find work. It is also likely that clients will want to see evidence of an in-depth knowledge of the systems they use, so Microsoft certification or similar will give you an edge.

Average salary: Around £30,000 per year.

13. Travel Agent

The internet has transformed the travel industry, which has opened up a potentially profitable path for people looking to work from home. Travel agents give advice on destinations and arrange everything from transport to entertainment. Those with a niche, such as luxury travel for wealthy clients, can demand a premium. You will need to know your destinations inside-out and be able to offer excellent customer service; a professional qualification in travel and tourism could help you to break into the industry. Home-based opportunities are available with existing travel companies, or you could set up on your own.

14. Franchise Owner

Buying a franchise that you can run from home offers a ready-made flexible business with a concept and brand that is tried and tested. Franchisees will usually buy a licence and then receive training from the owner, but some experience in areas such as accountancy, sales and marketing, and customer service would also be useful.

Average salary: Varies.

15. Childcare Provider

If you have young children, setting up as a childminder can give you the freedom to keep your own children with you while earning a wage caring for others. Childminders must undertake a training course approved by their local authority and are required to register with OFSTED. You will also need a DBS check, first aid certificate and relevant insurance.

Average salary: £6 to £8 per hour.

16. Event Planner

Event planners arrange and coordinate professional meetings and events. They may be responsible for selecting the location, booking transport and managing other elements such as entertainment and catering. Much of this can be done from home over the phone or online, but it is likely some travel will be needed too. There are no formal entry requirements but a qualification in a relevant field, such as hospitality, along with proven experience in the field will make you more attractive to potential clients.

Average salary: Around £20,000 per year.

17. Market Research

Market research involves collecting and analysing data about products or services. This could be through one-to-one interviews, focus groups, surveys or testing. Market researchers need participants to take part in their research projects, and often this can be done from home. Pay varies, and may sometimes come in the form of a gift voucher rather than cash, but this can be a useful and flexible way to make some money on the side. You can sign up with companies such as Research Opinions to receive information about opportunities.

Average salary: Around £50 per hour.

If you’re good with money then you might consider making it into a home-based career. Financial advisors guide clients as they choose products and services such as pensions, loans and insurance, and many work from a home office. Financial advisors must have a Statement of Professional Standing (SPS), which is a code of ethics, and must have passed the national Qualifications and Credit Framework at at least level 4, which involves 35 hours or more of professional training.

Average salary: Around £40,000 per year.

19. Medical Writer

Medical writers produce documents providing medical information. This could include promotional and educational literature on diseases and drugs, research documents, or content for healthcare websites. Most medical writers have a degree in a life-science and some may also have post-doctoral experience or qualifications. The skills needed mean that this is a well paid area of work and there are often remote-working opportunities available through medical communication and education agencies.

Average salary: Around £35,000 a year.

20. Short-Term Rental Host

Sites like Airbnb and HomeAway mean that anyone with room to spare can now open their home up to paying guests. The benefits are that you decide how often you want to rent out your rooms and how much you would like to charge. You will need to check any relevant rules and regulations that may restrict your ability to rent out rooms – some cities have introduced specific rules around short-term rentals. And you will need to follow health and safety guidelines. The relevant sites have useful information on getting started as a host.

Average salary: Varies.
