I'm retired, but I'm about to take on a casual job as a driver - do I need to tell my insurer?

I'm currently retired, but I'm about to take on a casual job as a driver for a car repair business. I'll probably be doing a couple of trips a week of 3-5 hours. Do I need to tell my insurer, even though my own car won't be used for any business purposes?

Advise them that you need to change from 'social, domestic and pleasure' to 'to and from a place of work'. You will have to notify them that you are no longer retired, but work as a driver.
