Can you work from home as a IT professional in North West?
10 of the 21 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 6 fully remote and 4 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 North West?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
