PPL currency question

Hello. After a career flying helicopters commercially I have the opportunity to fly for a private owner and therefore only require PPL(H) privileges. I have never found the CAA website very user-friendly and, as I am not familiar with private flying, I am hoping that someone here might be able to point me in the right direction? I am currently flying on an ATPL(H) which has the current type rating of the helicopter I want to fly privately. To retain commercial privileges on that licence I need to pass a PC every 12 months and a medical every 6 months (I am over 60).

If I want to fly the same helicopter privately do I need to obtain a PPL(H) and if so what is the currency requirements/test (VFR only) applicable to that? Also what class of medical certificate do I require as a 60 year old PPL? Thank you.
