Getting a job with colour deficiancy

Dear All

All my life I have only wanted to do one thing and that is be a pilot. however I am red green colour deficiant. From an early age I was told that I could never get a job in aviation and never fly a plane.

I am 25 years old now and have attained my UK PPL as I meet the standard for a class 2 medical, therefore can fly.

My question is, does anyone know of any way that i can get a job in aviation that doesnt require a class one medical. I understand that flying commercially requires a class one medical but are there any other roles, eg FI, Ferry pilot, etc. that would be suitable or can be done without a class 1?.
