Which sources list the most roles?
The most active source labels right now are 1Stforawarding, Attercop, Silvershellconsult, Luxurymarketinghouse and Industrylineresearch. Every vacancy links to its public source page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company.
Can you work from home as an IT professional in the UK?
20 of the 54 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 10 fully remote and 10 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate IT professional jobs in the UK?
1 of the roles on this page read as graduate or junior level, which is 2% of what is live. Level is read from the job title, so a role advertised without one is counted as mid-level and may still be open to less experience.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Data Analyst, IT Service Desk Analyst - FTC 23 months | Algeco, Junior AI Engineer - Remote / Contract, AI Engineer - Remote / Contract and Freelance PHP Developer Role. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
How much experience do these roles need?
The largest group is mid level (65% of the page). Seniority is read from the job title, so a role that does not signal a level in its title is counted as mid-level.
