Sadly your experience is actually an obstacle when it comes to airlines in the UK.
You are not a pay to fly cadet (you have not paid through the nose and have over 200hrsTT) therefore Easy and ryanair are non starters.
You do not have a useful type rating eg 737ng / airbus 320.
Age unfortunatly not comensurate with experience which will count against you
Your last hopes are regionals - eastern, loganair etc or specialist / air taxi
/ corporate.
Finaly time and expense required to convert.
When and if the economy picks up then maybe recruitment will as well which would make you better placed - crystal ball as to when that's going to happen.
US market would seem to be better in that time is more valued.
