Job Ideas for Partner?

[19lottie82]

My partner is (a young) 61 and until recently has worked as a groundsman on building sites, it’s a very physical job. He is currently recovering from cancer and hopes to be back in employment within 6 months.

However, I don’t think going back to such a physically demanding job is going to be an option for him. Also he is pretty much IT illiterate, and he doesn’t drive.

Does anyone have any ideas on any roles that he could consider, that pay over minimum wage? A physical aspect to the job is fine, as long as it’s nothing too hard going.
He’d need to clear at least £500 a month. He’s very good with people if that helps.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

A colleague took early retirement at 60 and took a part time job in customer support at our local airport. Lots of early retired people, and shifts to suit, he really enjoyed the job. Like your DP he's a very personable man, just who you want to help if have any problems in the airport.

Though Waitrose sounds great for the staff discount!

If he doesn't make £500 a week, would he able able to top up with benefits?

is there anything you can do with your job, take on more hours/look for promotion etc that would mean you bring in some of the £500 a week difference you are looking to make up.

We don’t actually live together so don’t combine finances, although he’s staying with me while he recovers.
