Working from home in france - advice needed!!!

19 years ago
Hiya, I am an English Mum of three living in France where I have been for the last 6 years. My youngest daughter is just about to start school and I have the frightening prospect of restarting work after a six year gap!! I used to work for Marks and Spencer Customer Service prior to leaving the UK (before that working for Thomson Holidays again in Client Welfare and Customer Service), and to date, have not worked in France, apart from having three children to look after which is not too easy a job!!. I would love to put my experience to its advantage over here but I have nowhere near the same writing skills in French, that I have in English. Ideally I would love to work from home for a UK based company but be based here in Poitiers - we have an airport link direct with Stansted so frequent trips would not be a problem. Unfortunately, I do not know where and how to start looking for a company which would do this kind of thing - naturally I have already tried my old company but they are not employing any staff at the present moment. Any advice? Thank you.
