Hi Senex, age shouldn't be a barrier and your age will never be asked for (but can be deduced by your CV).
Most places you mention especially Homebase, B&Q like having more mature staff with some real world experience.
Also helps if you are a seasoned DIYer. Customers tend to trust older people, they relax more and don't feel embarrassed asking basic questions.

If you go on the companies websites there will be a Jobs page.

There's lots of help on t'internet re. CVs.

Simple 1 pager will be ok for most part time work.

Explain you are retiring after 44 years and wish to still be of use and a part time position would be ideal.
They want people who are punctual, reliable, learn quickly and are good with customer facing.
Thanks, that's very helpful.
