How do I change my Apple ID email address please

So I have an email address which is linked to my Apple ID. But I have since left that job and no longer want to use that address. How do I go about changing this to a gmail account.

Remove the address from being a notification address is the first step. Apple hasn’t published any guidance for using an address again. Normally, if your e-mail address was associated with an ID in any way, for example as a Notification email address or a Rescue e-mail address, then it can't be reused with another Apple ID for approximately one year. I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again.  You will need to get another e-mail address to use as your Apple ID or you can try waiting 30 days to see if that works.
