I am currently on Mat Leave and unfortunately my job doesn't allow for me to work from home due to the nature of 'Patient Confidentiality'

Even so once Mat Leave is up I couldn't commit to 5 day per week!

What could I do from home? What do you do?

bookkeeping?

Do you know theres still a chance for you?
At one point I was doing Acc Rec for a company from home. I would go into the office once a week to pick up / drop off. Very flexible. Everything was commincated via email so that made it much easier.

This question was asked only a couple of weeks ago. I think in the WDYT section.

I'll link it later if you don't find it first.

I'm not doing it now but in the past I did freelance journalism from home. The catch it that I got my "in" by doing a month's unpaid internship at a magazine.

I work for a local govt which prides itself on being family friendly, so I do one day from home and two in the office. I believe some other government depts may also have the same conditions. If you had a skill set that would translates to a government agency, it might be worth looking into.

I work 2 days in the office and 1 day at home. I work for a small family business and i do accounts works and wages. To be honest the reason i go to work is because i find it hard to stay focused when at home. While at work i find i get more done.

I also take my baby to work as i have my own office away from all the commotion. it did make my decision on returning to work a lot easier knowing that i could take her with me.

In my other life, when I was at uni studying Vet I still worked for a family lawyer, I used to take 20 or so files home and churn out legal proeedings like Statements of Claim etc. it was great work. I had all the forms on my computer at home and would just emai them to my boss to print out and file.
