What organisations in the UK have a policy of employing people over 65?

Question

.....apart from B&Q...

Answer 1

I think B & Q employ older people.

Answer 2

If you're based in the UK:

Keep your options open if you're looking for a job to earn money and roller-coast over the next couple of months!

BECAUSE come October 2006 the Law changes and "age discrimination" becomes illegal here! Translate to, you stand a b****y good chance of getting back into the market even at 65.

Off the top of my head - B&Q does have a policy to employ older people; that reliable and experienced sense that maturity conveys so convincingly. As a previous poster stated - Charities. But I doubt that they will pay a wage if this is what you are actively seeking. Some managerial posts are available for the Silver-Set, but they aren't rushing the door-down. This area is primarily open to folks with experience in Banking, International Finance, Stocks.

But honestly, it's slim pickings out there. I can't WAIT to see what or how matters will change in roughly 8 weeks.

Answer 3

B&Q are the major employers of over 65s

Answer 4

Most charity organisations, Oxfam,Help the aged shops etc.

Answer 5

I am afraid that I do not know, however it is worth knowing that this year (in October) a new act will be passed. This will make it illegal to reject applicants for jobs based upon age.

Answer 6

B & Q and Nationwide bulding Society

Answer 7

don't know of any - as far as I knew they could only work as consultants (of course I've seen people retire, then come right back as a "consultant" and do their same job)

Answer 8

"mature porno" directors

Answer 9

B&Q
