Many residents of Adelaide are utilising their skills and community resources to work exclusively from home. Here are some ideas to work from home in Adelaide:
Medical Transcription, Medical Coding, Medical Billing, and Court Reporting
One of the largest industries in Adelaide is health care. Nearly 13 percent of residents are employed in the health care fields. If you have specialised training in transcription, coding, medical billing, or court reporting, you can very easily put your skills to use and earn money from home. Doctor’s offices, hospitals, medical facilities, attorney’s offices, and resident care facilities are presently working on converting their paper files into digital and text-based files. The demand for qualified professionals to undertake these projects far exceeds the actual number of qualified candidates.
If you do not have specialised training in these industries, several local college campuses and numerous online schools offer training to become certified in any one of these fields. The pay rate is very high and projects are ongoing. It is very easy to secure jobs and clients immediately upon completion of a comprehensive training program. Apply to local and state offices of interest, indicate your interest in working from home, and the offers will come rolling in.
Answering Service
If you happen to have experience as a receptionist, switchboard operator, office manager, or physician’s assistant, you may be interested in starting your own home answering service business or working for an existing company. The large number of doctor’s offices, outpatient clinics, and medical facilities in Adelaide makes acquiring an answering service job very easy. Answering service agents typically handle calls for a variety of medical offices outside of regular business hours. This can be a great job for those that enjoy working in the evenings, on weekends, or overnights.
Incoming calls are routed from the medical office to the answering service agent’s home office, through routing software. The answering service employee takes down specific important information and immediately texts or messages the on-call doctor or specialist with the information. The doctor is then responsible for contacting the patient and providing further instruction. Many of these available positions are often advertised in local newspapers and on local job boards. In many cases, however, submitting a resume’ and cover letter and meeting with a responsible party to discuss possible opportunities can land you a lucrative work from home job as an answering service agent.
Customer Care Agent
Social services are another thriving field in Adelaide. Many legislative offices and governmental agencies are outsourcing portions of their workload to licensed or qualified professionals that work from home. Customer care agents can receive a variety of phone calls to their home office pertaining to housing, member benefits, billing and insurance-related inquiries, and many other types of phone calls. Forgoing the use of traditional brick-and-mortar call centres can save the government money while providing employees and contractors with lucrative job opportunities from home.
Other customer care agents work for Fortune500 companies or local businesses. They may handle a variety of different types of calls. Some handle sales and services while other agents may handle billing or account management types of calls. Employers often offer paid training, numerous benefits, opportunities for bonuses, and opportunities for advancement. In most cases, the necessary software and equipment needed to perform the duties of the job are paid for by the company. Forums that are dedicated to work from home professionals, online job boards, and national chain websites are great places to look for home-based customer service jobs.
