7 Remote Job Opportunities Perfect for Chronically Ill Candidates

Last month, we recognized National Disability Employment Awareness Month, also known as NDEAM. Businesses across the nation exhibited their commitment to tackling disability employment issues. Organized by the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) of the U.S. Department of Labor, NDEAM 2021’s theme was “America’s Recovery: Powered by Inclusion.” According to ODEP, this year’s theme “reflects the importance of ensuring that people with disabilities have full access to employment and community involvement during the national recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

While I wish every month was NDEAM, and we shouldn’t talk about disability inclusion only once a year, I was excited to see the commitment from employers. Having worked in the disability/chronic illness space for almost four years now, I’ve participated in NDEAM a few times. I’ve often felt conflicted about this month, wondering, “Are companies just posting about this for the sake of attention?”

This year, I watched first-hand as companies authentically participated in NDEAM. Companies were eager to educate their employees, learn about the barriers those with disabilities face, and make true strides towards inclusion. 

The past year and a half has been hard for all of us, but we’ve also learned a lot. Companies are starting to see how easy it can be to accommodate their employees. They’re learning that when employees feel comfortable showing up as their true selves to work, they’re happier and more productive! I feel hopeful that we have moved over the hump and change is happening. 

If you are new to these monthly articles, my name is Hannah Olson and I’m the founder of Chronically Capable, a digital talent marketplace and community that connects chronically ill and disabled jobseekers to inclusive employers. We have always believed in the importance of creating space for the chronically ill and disabled to work and excel at their jobs without feeling like they have to sacrifice their health. Now, we’re working on getting employers across the globe to join us in actively supporting our community!

Calling all former athletes or sports enthusiasts! While I no longer consider myself an athlete, I definitely used to be one back in the day (pre-Lyme disease). One Team Partners works with Players Associations (such as the MLB or the NBA), to transform the way athletes participate in business by putting them at the center of the commercial ecosystem. So, basically, they’re helping athletes get brand sponsorships! They don’t list their benefits on their site, but they do offer employees the option to work remotely. If you’re curious about benefits such as health care or 401k, be sure to ask the hiring manager during your interview!

6. Noodle

I’m going to start out with a testimonial from one of Chronically Capable’s members who was hired at Noodle: “I landed a great job with a company that strives to create an ‘inclusive’ workplace, so different from what I was used to. Chronically Capable is seeking out employers that want to work with YOU!  The team truly believes in the value a Chronically Capable person brings to the workplace.” I think this quote says it best — Noodle is a wonderful organization that supports their employees and welcomes those with health needs. If you’re a former teacher, this may be the perfect company for you, because Noodle is working to lower the cost of higher education through excellent online and hybrid programs. Benefits include the option to work 100% remote, health insurance, monthly gym stipends, and more.
