Hi all,

I have gone for a job with a retail shop as a delivery driver. I have had a interview and passed that and now I have a driving assessment this Saturday. So far no one has asked me if I have any convictions spent or unspent.

My conviction was in 2005 and I was working in a shop where I stole money to fund my court case to see my daughter. I was petrified I would loose access and made some very wrong decisions which clearly I regret.

The job has said they do back ground checks so this has worried me now that I will not get it.

At court I was given £775ish fine and 240 hours community service. Will this affect my application.

I have so far been working for the past 7 years in another retail shop and progressing to a assistant manager.

Many thanks for any advice
