Questions about these roles
How many remote contract IT jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 47 live vacancies across 33 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
What do remote contract IT jobs in the UK pay?
The median advertised ceiling is £74,750, based on the 8 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £55,200 to £115,000. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Siftware, Lapisconsults, Globaltechcollective, Bestukcarinsurance and Torquepartnership. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often PHP, SAP, JavaScript, Java and Kafka. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.
How much does a IT professional earn in the UK?
£74,750 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 36% above the £55,000 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the ceiling an employer is advertising towards rather than an offer: 39 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.
Are there entry-level or graduate IT professional jobs in the UK?
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.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as D365 F&O Test Manager (Contract), SC Cleared Desktop Engineer – Contract, Freelance PHP Developer, Freelance PHP Developer Role and Are you an aspiring or professional freelance web developer?. 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 (62% 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.
