Keeping 320 rating current

Guys I am looking for advice.

At the moment I am flying on the 320, Very soon I will be moving company, flying the A330.

Is it possible (allowed) by the UK CAA to keep both ratings current? I was thinking of self funding a LPC every year for the A320.

Next Question

Do you think it's worth it? I have 3200 hours on the A320 (First officer)

Cheers for any feedback

In EASA land your rating is only valid for three years and most employers are not unterested unless you have current experience. If you want somebody to sit in the sim and press the buttons for you let me know.

(iv) expiry longer than 3 years: the applicant should again undergo the training required for the initial issue of the rating

Really?

From Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011:

(a) The period of validity shall be 1 year, except for single-pilot single-engine class ratings, for which the period of validity shall be 2 years, unless otherwise determined by the operational suitability data established in accordance with Part-21.
