Job for someone who is shielding?

Any suggestions?
My friend is in the 'shielding' group and so basically cannot leave his home.
He has good inter-personal skills but is not very assertive; very strong written and spoken English despite his native language being from Asia; a high level of general education. His last job was teaching Politics to university students, but he is willing to do virtually anything.

It’s all changing, shielders are not required to stay at home no longer soon.0

Is there a blanket requirement that Covid-19 contract tracers have previous healthcare/NHS experience?Because it seems like this would be a perfect working-from-home job.I see that there are online courses you can take in this area: https://www.coursera.org/learn/covid-19-contact-tracing?edocomorp=covid-19-contact-tracing

Which is about 2 months out of date. Roles have been filled as far as I’m aware.Poster_586329 said:More details from the Morpeth Herald!:2 -
Shielding is ending very soon.
Any jobs hes applying for should be on the basis he doesnt need to be at home going forward.
Most call centres are offering WFH jobs though if he wants to get money in.0 -
Even though shielding is due to be paused I can understand he's probably reluctant to be mixing with hundreds of people. I second this recommendation - a lot of call centres will be keep staff at home for a while yet as they can't distance in the centre so if he has a recent windows laptop with usb ports this is the way to go. Also he might want to think about advertising locally to tutor A Level or college students if he has enough knowledge of the syllabus as he could combine the two and tutoring would pay more.motorguy said:Shielding is ending very soon.

What's to stop him teaching online? Plenty of schools and universities have been doing exactly that for the last four months.Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0
