The pandemic has worked in your favour. I’ve got a >£500/day contract job at the moment with no background check, never met, they don’t know my age.
Start your own company (<£20 registration fee) then find outside IR35 contracts via LinkedIn recruiters: find a role that uses the intersection of your skills + experience — i.e: a data science contract with a law-adjacent firm. Very quick and easy, if you have skills then you’d have a job before the week is out.
Don’t reject yourself before anyone else has the chance to: the bar for these jobs is very, very low.
