Work from home (IT): Self-employed or DPNI?

Hi all, hopefully someone can give me some pointers on the follow:
I am a foreign (EU) national living in the UK and I have an offer for a remote job in the IT sector for an USA based employer who has no presence or other employees in the UK. My contract stipulates that:
The position is described as a “full time” one, with no defined working hours and days though, alongside with the freedom to provide my services whenever and wherever I choose from, for a standard salary per year.
My employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either me or the Company may terminate my employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.
Furthermore, I intend in the near future to start getting side projects along with-what it seems as-my main stream of income too. Could I possibly get into a sole-trader set up or is there some other kind of scheme though which can I operate, such as DPNI scheme-any suggestions/possible pitfalls?Any help will get much appreciated!
