The whole world was forced to change the way it looked at the average workday when the pandemic struck.
Lockdowns threw the traditional office space out the window when people were restricted to the four corners of their own home due to a clamp-down on non-essential travel. Many workers found themselves on furlough, though others, where they could help it, moved from an office to a home office.
For many it is still the ideal mode of work as it can offer a flexibility to the workday that being stuck in an office can't, particularly for those with other commitments such as young children, elderly relatives or even pets. That being said, we have rounded up five of the most alluring jobs you can do from your home in Merseyside, in case working from home is still your cup of tea.
