  • This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic young writer with a passion for cycling.

    You might want to consider your compliance with the Equality Act. To quote Age UK:

    When advertising a job role, employers can’t include age limits, and should avoid using words which could suggest they are looking for applicants from a particular age group – for example, by using terms such as ‘10 years’ experience’, ‘enthusiastic young people’ or ‘ recent graduates’.

    To be clear, this isn't optional. The Equality Act makes discrimination on the basis of age unlawful.

  • I tried this line with a local establishment when they ran a similarly 'age' worded add for their establishment saying they wanted someone between two ages. They gave me a right kicking and told me I was destroying their business.
