IR35 is unlikely to be a problem, as you are being paid directly as a sole trader, rather than through an intermediary (usually a limited company). Whilst your status may well be an issue, your employer would be more at risk than you.

That is not strictly correct, it's only part of what you'd need to do; it's rather more complicated as I said in my recent post. But he's certainly right that you wouldn't get away with being self-employed if you are working for them 9-5 Mon-Fri.

If you're planning to move away then I wouldn't try and change anything at this stage. Make sure you complete your first year with them as this gives you some employment rights, should you need them.
