Working Wise: Helping experienced workers find fulfilling jobs

​Meet Mandy Gale, the Managing Editor of Working Wise, a job and community site specially focused on older workers looking for improved work-life balance, and the employers who recognise what they have to offer.

​Working Wise helps older workers find and retain fulfilling occupations, connecting them with businesses seeking talented and experienced individuals.

​The site offers a wide variety of news, views, guides and stories about subjects including retraining for a new career later in life, finding flexible work, general career advice, pensions and employment rights.

​In this event, Mandy will be sharing:

• ​Why she set up Working Wise (why it’s important as a society that we focus on older workers and the commercial opportunities as a recruiter)

• ​How the world is changing in response to older workers

• ​Some of the interesting things she is seeing organisations do

• ​Her predictions for how recruiters are changing in response to an ageing workforce

• ​What she sees changing in the part-time and flexible opportunities space

• ​Which employers are currently wanting to target older workers/who should Brave Start members have on their radar?
