Our comprehensive health and work evidence review finds older people with a long-term health condition more likely to be out-of-work than younger peers.

This toolkit is aimed at commissioners of employment and skills provision, who want to create and commission services that work better for people in their 50s, 60s and beyond.

This framework has been developed to communicate what it means to be an age-friendly business and organises a broad range of ideas into the key steps any business can take to become more age-friendly.

This new toolkit for 2023, and builds on age-friendly principles to introduce 3 new tools to minimise age bias in the recruitment process.

This resource is for employment support workers who have an employer-facing role.  It highlights some of the barriers that have prevented older jobseekers from securing good opportunities in the past, and which persist today.

This guide is aimed at frontline employability workers, managers and their teams. It is designed to help you better understand and support jobseekers in their 50s and 60s - whether you work at Jobcentre Plus, for a contracted provider, or in a voluntary community organisation.

Partnering with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and DWP, this project looks at developing effective approaches to providing employment support for over 50s.

This slide deck summarises the findings of new training for employability support advisors in Greater Manchester on how to better support older jobseekers.
