What counts as remote

Remote UK contract jobs are roles the advert allows you to do from anywhere in the country. They are not the same as hybrid. A hybrid role still expects days in a named office, and the IR35 status is decided the same way either way.

If the advert names an office and a number of days, it is hybrid, even when the other days are at home. Hybrid roles are on the board under their city. This page is the set that do not require one.

Who hires

The work follows product companies, consultancies and national programmes that no longer tie the work to one office. Agencies cover most of the adverts. The end client is often named only once you speak to them, which is another reason the day rate and the IR35 status need to be visible before that call.

Skills that turn up repeatedly are on the skill directory. Each skill has a contract-jobs guide, a day-rate guide and an outside IR35 guide, and the live list sits on the board beside them.

IR35

Remote does not decide IR35. A fully remote role can be inside, and a five-day office role can be outside. The determination is about control, substitution and the nature of the work. Use outside IR35 jobs when that is the filter you care about, and the IR35 calculator when you have a number to compare.

We do not re-determine status. If the advert states it, the row states it. If the advert is silent, the row says so, rather than guessing a side that would help the click.

How to search

Open the remote filter, then add a skill and a minimum day rate. Members can combine those filters and can open the original advert. Everyone else sees the board on a 48-hour delay, without the apply link.

New contracts are added through the day. The ones from the last 48 hours are the ones most likely to still be open, which is why they are the member tier.

Live roles on the board

These contracts are on the board now. The day rate and IR35 status are public. The link to the original advert is for members.

Questions

What is a remote contract job?
A remote contract is a UK day-rate role you can do from anywhere in the country. Hybrid roles that name an office are listed under that city instead.
Are remote contracts outside IR35?
Some are, some are not. Remote and the city do not settle IR35. The advert's status does, and it still has to match the working practices.
Do day rates include take-home?
No. The day rate is the headline. Inside IR35 deductions, or limited-company tax on an outside contract, come off it. The calculator runs both.
Can I apply straight from the board?
Members and 14-day pass holders get the link to the original advert on every job. The public board shows the role without that link.
