10 Work-Whenever-You-Want Opportunities From Home

Flexible remote work can help when you need to work around school pickup, another job, or other responsibilities. The ten companies and platforms below offer some control over when you work. Their ongoing application and hiring pages give you a place to start, but acceptance and project availability can change.

Some companies let you work whenever tasks are available, while others require a minimum number of hours or have deadlines you would need to meet.

I come across opportunities like these while searching for new listings for my work at home job leads board.

Many of the options below are non-phone opportunities, including transcription, AI rating, writing, and editing. Tutoring involves live lessons, so you will need to keep the times your students book.

TELUS Digital’s AI Community offers remote projects in areas such as search evaluation, digital maps, and AI training. Opportunities are available in the US and other countries, with eligibility depending on the project.

Some freelance projects let you choose when and how much you work, depending on the tasks available. Requirements differ by project and may include an exam, language skills, or a minimum period of living in the country.
