Job sites
With jobs sites the work is on you to keep an eye on what is on offer at any given time. Surprisingly the market isn’t exactly crowded when looking for quality job sites specifically offering IT jobs outside IR35.
The larger names simply included relevant categories or enabled searches on this criteria. That means you have to do a bit of sifting before you get the right results. Here are some links already configured for you on the “IT contracts outside IR35”:
CW Jobs

Is it easy to get IT contracts outside IR35?
Unfortunately out of all the IT contracts, only a fraction are classed outside IR35. As a result planning your future around being an IT contractor intending to stay outside the legislation for the tax efficiency reasons may become increasingly tough.
Remember that as an independent IT contractor working via a limited company, you’ll probably need an accountant specialising in contractors and may need IT contractor insurance or limited company professional indemnity insurance depending your your contract.
