Claygate, Elmbridge: Jobs
Jobs
Claygate's workforce is heavily skewed towards professional and knowledge-based roles. Many residents work from home, and there's a strong presence in finance, tech, and education.
Professional, scientific and technical work is the biggest employer, accounting for around 15% of working residents. Financial and insurance roles and information and communication jobs are also common — this reflects a well-qualified local workforce with strong ties to London's economy.
Education is another major sector, employing over 400 residents.
Nearly 59% of working residents now work from home. Of those who do commute, most drive. Train use is relatively low, which suggests many roles are either local or remote-friendly rather than office-based in the capital.
