Q1037: Under the age discrimination legislation is an employer prevented from using job titles including the words "senior" and "junior"?

Under the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 an employer is not prevented from using the words "senior" or "junior" in a job title provided that these words are used to designate the status of the role occupied by the job holder and have no bearing on the person's age. A young person may occupy a senior role and an older person may occupy a junior role, depending on their qualifications, experience and suitability for the role.
