Working from home allowance

Hi

I am employed as an Ambulance Response Driver based at home on-call 24 hours over a seven day period on a week on, week off basis. The vehicle is kept at home and it is my responsibility to conduct a daily safety check together with cleaning as required. In addition, I attend Ad hoc ‘zoom’ meetings when not deployed. Also online training is required on an annual basis. 

Can I claim this allowance.

Thank you.
