It’s no secret that the surge in popularity of remote working has been a boon for persons with disabilities (PWDs). Because of it, there are now more job opportunities for PWDs in the Philippines and beyond. These online jobs for PWDs are showing that whatever work an ordinary person can do, a PWD can do too.

However, not all work for PWDs is equal to others; some online jobs are much better suited for PWDs. Areas like cybersecurity and voice-over acting are popular online jobs for PWDs because it allows them to utilize their skills to the fullest. In addition to these, here are some of the best home-based jobs for PWDs in the Philippines.

Virtual Assistants

Virtual Assistants.

One of the most popular online jobs for PWDs today is Virtual Assistant jobs. A virtual assistant’s role is similar to that of their office-based counterparts. They help answer calls and emails for their bosses, manage their busy schedules, and sometimes help them proofread and edit their writings.

What makes a virtual assistant job popular with remote workers? First off, since it’s an online job, they have easier access to the assistive technologies they need for work. This allows them to do their job more efficiently than in an office, where they may lack these supporting tools.

In addition, a virtual assistant job focuses more on output than who the person is or what their conditions are. So if you’re capable of accomplishing your tasks well and on time, your boss wouldn’t care whether you’re a PWD or not.

Content Writer

Content Writer.

Another popular online job with remote PWD workers is being a content writer. Not only is there a great demand for content writers today, but in most cases, your clients aren’t really concerned whether you’re a PWD or not. Like a virtual assistant job, content writing emphasizes outputs more than who the author is.

In addition, since content writing is an individual task (for the most part), it is also an excellent way for remote PWD workers to display their creativity. Here, they’re given the freedom to do their work, so long as it is done on time and according to their client’s needs. So feel free to take as much time as you need or use your unique writing style, as long as it gets the job done.

Transcription Jobs

Transcription Jobs.

If you don’t think you’re the social or creative sort, why not try online transcription jobs? All you need to do is listen to audio or video content sent by your client. Then, you convert the audio into text. Sounds simple enough, right?

Now here comes the challenging part. As a PWD, you may have a condition that may limit your ability to do this in an office environment. Maybe you’re hearing-impaired. Or perhaps, you have trouble with using your hands.

This is where your assistive technologies come to play. With the help of these tools, you can now do your work with little to no trouble. A home-based job also allows your loved ones to better assist you should you need any help.

Cybersecurity Jobs

Cybersecurity Jobs.

Perhaps a surprising area where remote PWD workers, particularly those who are neurodiverse, excel is cybersecurity. Why is that, you may ask? Because some of them possess traits that are greatly valued in this line of work.

Traits such as the ability to hyperfocus, persistence, and precision enable these PWD workers to thrive in this line of work. It allows them to perform a better risk analysis and spot suspicious online activities. And since cybersecurity is essential in today’s digital world, there are plenty of opportunities for PWDs here.

Social Media Manager

Social Media Manager.

For the more social media savvy among you, why not try your hands on becoming a social media manager? In this job, you are responsible for handling your client’s social media accounts, replying to comments on social media posts, creating and posting content, and launching ad campaigns. In essence, you’ll establish your client’s brand on social media.

One of the advantages of this online job is you don’t need much equipment to work here. All you need for work are a computer or smartphone, stable internet, graphic design and copywriting skills, and familiarity with search engine optimization (SEO). This makes it easy for remote PWD workers to adjust to this job, as all the equipment they need is easily accessible.

Voice-Over Work

Voice-Over Work.

Another of the best online jobs for PWDs we’ll take a look at is voice-over work. Voice-overs are essential in several online platforms, such as podcasts and video content. Podcasters often hire voice-over actors to present the ads of their advertisers during their podcasts, for example.

Besides a beautiful voice, you will also need to be proficient in speaking English for this kind of online job. In addition, you may also need to spend on making your own studio at home.

However, once you acquire all the required skills and equipment, your possibilities are limitless. Aside from podcasts and online video content, you can also get hired to work on video tutorials. The flexibility of your schedule lets you work on more than one project simultaneously.

Online Teaching

Online Teaching.

Have you always wanted to teach but never got the opportunity to do so because of your condition? If so, then you should consider working as an online teacher. Here, you don’t need to worry about not getting the job because of your condition. Here, the playing field is more equal, as your client will be more concerned about your ability to teach than your appearance.

One other perk that online teaching has over a face-to-face one is it gives you the chance to teach to a more diverse audience. So if you’ve ever wanted to teach foreign students, now’s your chance to do so.

Conclusion

Conclusion.

Ever since the growing popularity of remote working, many doors that were once closed to PWDs have now opened. And among these doors, here are some of the best online jobs for PWDs that you should apply for.
