Recently retired but looking to keep active? Want to give back to your local community? Want to put your people skills to good use, but need a job that fits around your schedule?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five jobs that could be perfect for you!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Childcare<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Many working families need help with after school childcare. People with experience bringing up their own children or grandchildren are a perfect fit for this. The role is rewarding and fits around your schedule, with most families looking for 3-5 afternoons per week. Koru Kids<\/a> is hiring after school nannies in London now – apply here<\/a>.

      \n
    1. Volunteering<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

      Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community. Many roles are flexible, though of course you won\u2019t get paid for your time. NCVO<\/a> has lots of information to help you get started, plus you can look for volunteering opportunities on sites like Do-it.org<\/a> and Charity Jobs.\ufeff<\/a>

        \n
      1. Pet sitting<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

        If you like pets (especially dogs), then there are plenty of jobs available. Websites like Rover.com<\/a> and Tailster.com<\/a> have plenty of jobs for dog walking, cat sitting and much more.
        <\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Teaching<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

          As the organisation NowTeach<\/a> explains: \u201cYou have a lifetime of experience. Now Teach.\u201d Their mission is to help career-changers who have already made a success of one profession retrain as teachers, and focus on maths, science and languages in London and Hastings, East Anglia and the West Midlands.
          <\/p>\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Learning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

            As Mahatma Gandhi once said, \u201cLearn as if you were to live forever.\u201d While it\u2019s not quite a job, there are more opportunities now than ever before to continue learning, even in later life. The University of the Third Age<\/a> (U3A) is dedicated to lifelong learning, with the focus on \u201clearning for its own sake, with enjoyment being the prime motive, not qualifications or awards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Koru Kids is building the world\u2019s best childcare service and is looking for retired people in London interested in becoming after school nannies. <\/em>Find out more<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
