    I advertised for a gardener in 1987, to help with my burgeoning maintenance round. Sue Newman applied for the job; Sue could only work part-time because she had two young son's - the arrangement suited me and Sue worked with me for about eighteen months as she set up her own landscape and garden maintenance business.

    ...and she's still going strong and a member of this site:-0)

    I spoke to a manager who works at Job Centre plus and she has advised that you are careful how you word your job advert: it's illegal to advertise a position that discriminates on the basis of sex (although she did explain that you should get in touch at Job Centre plus.)

    Have a read of this - Sex discrimination and equal pay
