Health issues. Would any company employ me.

I have got health issues, I'm 56 and have not been employed for many years due to my problems.
Would love to get back to work, as feel i am wasting my life away at home.
I would need a sit down job at this present time in life, but hopeful my ailments will get easier.
I am an educated lady, looking for my life back again.
Is their a company out their, that would be willing to employ me.

Should be considering the equality act covers that sort of thing.
If money isn't an issue though you could look into volunteer work. You may well find that it's more flexible and gives you some more purpose than some mundane job.

Totally up to you though and both should make reasonable adjustments for you. I expect you can get advice on the matter from some organisation or the council, but honestly I wouldn't know how. I'll throw in some links that might help tough so you can have a look at them.

You might also find some good advice on sites like HealthUnlocked which cater to various disabilities and conditions.

Hope that helps and good luck with everything :smile:
