Many people are still working from home at the moment but if the schools start to return in a couple of weeks, it is likely that some businesses will start to allow employees to return back to work.
It may be that working hours have to be staggered to allow for social distancing and so not all employees are in at the same time. If this is the case then you need to think about what hours or days you may be able to work. If children are only going back in stages then it may be that you still have a child that is going to be at home. This could impact on the times you can go in to work. You may still be allowed to work from home if this is the case or if you need to isolate at home.
If you are looking for a new job, then knowing what hours you can work will allow you to narrow your search down and only apply for jobs that are suitable to your situation.
If you really need flexible working then you may consider going self-employed. This will give you the ability to set your own hours to a certain extent although you may have to fit in with other businesses.
