Well I’ve started a part time position at 63 being a PA for a young disabled child. My previous employment was accounting so total change and I love it.   Pay is way lower than I had but I’ve plenty with my private pension so went for something totally different.

I would have thought it’s easier than ever with staff shortages everywhere.

Back in 2016, after a couple of years of "retirement", I began paid employment again - at the age of 69.  That was with a new employer.

Hello
I may well be unemployed shortly.

Am fairly lucky in that I have a (small) pension but won't get any benefits because of my income  other than 96p JSA & help with council tax)

I would be looking for part time customer service/call centre/ hybrid roles. Happy to work any shifts.

I'm wondering what is everyone's experience looking for work at the ripe age of (nearly) 60?

I know it obvs depends on your previous experience , I'm talking generically

Thanks  

With such a flexible and positive approach, I hope you'll find an employer will welcome you with open arms.

Best of luck to you, OP.  

I'm kind of in the same boat. Haven't worked for a long time and jobs are scarce where I am.
