Legitimate at home work, e.g. Virtual Call Centre Work

Hi,
I am trying to return to the work and due to the virus, would like to try find work from home (incase of a second wave). I have experience in Customer Service and Technical Support and I would love to find some kind of remote work in this area either as a Virtual Call Centre Agent or as an Email or Text Support Agent. I am based in Northern Ireland. I am a hard worker and am always eager to learn but the internet seems to be a minefield of scam "work from home" jobs looking to take peoples money. Surely there must some decent legitimate companies out there looking to hire remote workers incase of a second wave? I would be grateful for any advise or assistance locating something genuine.
TIA.

    Have you spoken to your local JobCentre?  Or contacted large, reputable companies direct - some may only recruit through agencies, but will often tell you which agency they use.

    If you google on 'home based jobs' you'll find a number of large and well known agencies showing vacancies.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Do you have 1st line IT technical support experience or something similar?

    If that is the case, the world should be your oyster as this industry is booming in the Covid-19 world and is ideally setup for remote working at 1st line level.
