"Employment" only exists with commodity production. If there is no commodity production, and all labor is socially necessary, i.e. Communism, then no you would not be self employed. You would be an individual worker but bound to the work deemed necessary by planning.
And you could propose work to the councils and planners that you think would be helpful. There’s little reason in that situation, however to go it alone as a “micro-business” or whatever.
