Yes it is quite a large salary you would need for a family and on top of that you need healthcare for the entire time you are there you can't use the convenio. As I said before, if you read the whole BOE you will understand that this is part of a packet of initiatives intended to keep Spain open for for the new technology age. It is seen as a way of attracting talented entrepreneurs and I individuals who work primarily in new technology - so that Spain might benefit from these people using Spain as a base. Its not just a work visa and this is why its couched in terms that reflect the professional nature and type of individual who can apply. It's not an alternative visa for uk people who can't get the NLV neither is it an alternative to people who want to work as autominos. Also it will be limited and probably very popular with young single high-level tech graduates from places like US, Canada, China, Russia many of whom already undertake this remote type of work
- Boost the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Spain, facilitating and enhancing the creation of new fast-growing technology companies.
- Attract foreign investment and talent to the country
- Convert the Spanish territory into a real hub of reference for international entrepreneurship
It will be Marbella, San Sebastian, Barcelona or Madrid where these people go and you can hardly find a basic 2 bed apartment for less than €900-1000 rent. For these people it's normal prices.

You are right and it's more about attracting new talent or people with plenty of money.

Getting back to the original poster. Having read up as much as I can on this I would say that they might still have a chance. The OP says the job is already classified as remote work and clearly being a civil servant means the employer is UK government , so no problem there. I am assuming that the OP is a graduate and the job reflects that or they have worked in the job for 3 years and that it required some further education achievements. The only problems then are the salary which is fine for the husband and mum but short for the kids- however given that they receive benefits to assist children I can't see any specific reason for not including them as income especially given the circumstances. The last problem could be healthcare however we shouldn't assume that a disability means you automatically will require more healthcare than non- disabled and therefore healthcare could be affordable- besides all children have free healthcare in spain irrespective of residency. So my advice ( if OP is still here) is get in touch with the Spanish embassy in uk and see what they say.

Unfortunately I don't think that is the type of thing that qualifies for the DNV.It needs to a job that is performed solely by computer. It can't be a business owner who keeps in contact with a manager via zoom or emails. This is why it is essentially pitched at graduates- it's for people like soft ware designers and programmers who carry out all their work on screen.
I'm afraid it could be the same problem for the OP too.
