20 Companies Offering Work from Home Jobs for Disabled People

In light of the recent coronavirus pandemic, many businesses in the United Kingdom have had to adjust their methods of operation to provide more work-from-home possibilities. For some people with disabilities, this has exponentially opened up the world of work, providing new access to jobs. To offer you an insight into what’s available today, this article will list 20 UK companies offering disabled-friendly work-from-home jobs!

The Benefits of Working From Home

People with disabilities frequently experience barriers to employment due to inaccessible working environments or discriminatory attitudes from employers. Luckily, with the rise in work-from-home opportunities, many disabled people can now work from the comfort of their own homes, boosting chances of employment.

Working-from-home has many benefits and offers relief from long-term travel for people with disabilities surrounding mobility or chronic fatigue. Additionally, disabled people often find that working from home allows you to control your own environment and manage time more flexibly – both of which can be highly beneficial when living with a disability.
