working for the same company on an employed and self employed basis

Seems to me you might be better of asking about going part time with the current employer and being honest about why.

Can your current employer accommodate you working say 3 days a week, could they be fixed days or could they be variable days.

Can you source the extra work to fit round the requirements of the current employer, the main thing seems to be can you get jobs that take no more than a day or maybe 2 or can be done over a number of weeks.


the key that you have identified is the regulatory work, if they must have an employee, is that to do the work or can it be done by anyone then get signed off by the qualified employee.

How easy to replace that requirement?


First thing to do is check they are happy with you working on your own jobs.

And also check your contract. If it is any sort of niche market then there might well be something in the contract about not setting up in completion within a certain period or distance.

If you end up taking any of the employers existing clients that you work with then that is a whole different ball game.

Definitely wrong end of the stick here. I would carrying out work for my (ex)employer, not directly for their clients. Instead of handing in a timesheet and getting a wage slip etc, I would hand my (ex)employer an invoice for the 3-4 days work I have done for them that week, instead of the 5 days I do as an employee currently. The remaining 1-2 days would be spent doing work for my own clients, with no link to my (ex)employer and they would be invoiced individually.

But then you wouldn't be 'employed' by your current contractor. I thought you needed to be an employee for regulatory necessity?
