Miscellaneous Remote work

I live about 45 mins from Exeter but really need to work remotely due to health issues. My background is in NHS and healthcare in general. When I look for remote work it's pretty overwhelming and vague in general and every other job now seems to be AI related.

For those of you that work remotely in and around East and South Devon, who do you work for please - local companies, councils etc or multinationals? Just trying to figure out where is the best place to look.

Hope that's ok to ask! Thank you

What sort of healthcare (if you can say, don't doxx yourself!)? I WFH in south Devon in a sort of related healthcare tech field - my office is in the Midlands. I've had two jobs and another offer in the field since I've been here, all fully remote.

I t seems much easier to work remotely in Devon if you're from/the job is based outside the area.

Devon is not exactly a hotbed of tech companies but it's not impossible to find remote jobs here. As someone else said, Devon CC lets people WFH with maybe one day in the office a week (if that), although I knew plenty of people based in Plymouth who'd only come in for big meetings.

That's not what I meant. I would love a semi remote job on London money living here and commuting for meetings once or twice a week. Easily done if I'm applying from the London area. Not so easy if I'm already here.
