This week's Top 10 Opportunities

Issue 797, Sun 8 June, 2025

Happy Monday Escapees!


We might not top the charts for Eurovision or political stability. But remote working? We’re smashing it.


UK workers now average 1.8 days a week from home - the most in Europe, and well above the global average. Not bad for a nation once suspicious of working in joggers.


And 58% say they’d quit rather than return to the office full-time. The message? Flexibility isn’t a perk. It’s a baseline.


But this isn’t just about location.


At Escape, we believe work should fit around life - not the other way round. And the rise of remote work is just the start.


If you’re dreaming of more freedom, meaning or sanity in your working week, we’ve pulled together 10 of our top job opportunities right now - where flexibility isn’t just allowed, it’s often at the heart of the role.


Take a look and see what might be possible.


Happy Escaping!
