Agaricus bisporus

It is over 10 years since I flew a Helo, but would love to get back into it for my last few flying years in UK.
I've military helo, heavy N Sea time, 3500hrs rotary, over half twin, corporate, utility, bush, VIP, police, everything except instructing and underslung. Had an IR(H) too, long lapsed, but current P1 on medium jets so easy to recover rotary licence.
How easily might I find a job in the charter world today? I assume the lack of an IR is nowadays a serious restriction - but is it a critical one? If so how do people acquire IRs in practice? Do employers sponsor/provide them - ever?
Ideas and advice received with thanks.
