Finding Jobs - paid and self employment

              
'Youth has no age'  -  Picasso


 
Since starting this website, we have discovered that the 'topicpages' of greatest interest to our users are those about jobs, paid and unpaid. So in addition to the 'topic pages' listed below (which set out a few ideas for earning a modest crust) we are compiling and updating information on specific jobs which may  be of intreest to you. These are:

NON EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS WANTED. An aggegated and updated list of advertised jobs for nonexecutive directors.

TRUSTEES WANTED.   An aggregated list.

VOLUNTEER ROLES OF THE MONTH. In partnership with Reach Skilled Volunteers, we are publishing a list of opportunities for you

to share your wisdom and experience with your community.


A COMPENDIUM OF WEBSITES RELEVANT TO OVER 50s who are interested to make us of their skills and experience.
