You might want to get in touch with the university's registry department and explain the situation they'll be able to alleviate concerns and guide you best, but I suspect they'll give you the same advice in less blunt language. In other words, don't stress unduly about it. Personally when looking at a mature student's application, I'm primarily looking to answer the questions "are they doing this for the right reasons?", "are they sufficiently motivated?" and "do they have the academic ability to achieve well?" References are usually far less revealing than a personal statement/candidate interview. They all essentially say the same thing with about the same platitudes. Keep in mind that references usually aren't critically important at the best of times. With your permission, the reference could include circumstances. If your referee is one of your teachers, they can add your predicted grades for any pending qualifications you’re studying now. No need to give them your grades they (presumably) never taught you, so no point them trying to comment on how you did in history in 1981 that information is on your application regardless. It must be written by your referee online in the reference section of your application, in English (or Welsh if you’re applying for courses in Wales). For example, depending on the job, there's a reasonable likelihood they'll be able to comment on your literacy/numeracy at the very least. No harm in having your workplace referee comment on your academic ability, to the degree they reasonably can.
