As above, there is some job centre funding available for this situation to keep currency. If you have an Airbus rating and some experience, there is a company that I'm aware of looking for First Officers for some non-UK bases (you'll likely be based outside the EU initially but can bid to come back), and a limited number of Captains, so there is work available, it's just a case of not being too picky in what/where you're doing it, depending on your own circumstances.
I'm going to need to speak to one of our First Officers if you need further info, but you should definitely (subject to having maximum £6k I think in savings) be able to get a recurrent sim funded at least partly by the DWP, as it will keep you available for work in your specialism.
