Been asked to upload ID so they can start checks if successful.
Been offered interview for 6th April.
Just says in the pack that any information that comes back on a DBS would go to a decision maker.

in regards to working in the probation service, it will all come down to if you are working direct for probation or a CRC , crc have been know to take on ex offenders in roles like through the gate etc etc, one thing to note is that all crc are being dispensed this year when probation is being brought back in-house, the prison minister has stated that when this occurs they would like to try and keep the scheme of hiring ex offender for some roles.
probation staff not only have t9 have a DBS but also security vetting

Probation should employ specialist support workers, to help SO. Ideally they would be ex-SO themselves, who understand the unique problems which SO face.
If an SO did apply, for a more general support worker job, in probation, they would probably find that many ex-offenders would refuse to accept their support, because of their offence.

I saw an administrator vacancy with the probation service.
Would they even consider an application from a individual who has committed a sexual offence?
I note it says on the civil service job advert “pass a DBS check”.
My offence isn’t spent yet so even on a basic check it’s going to show.
Does the word “pass” mean it needs to be clear? Or just within their standards?

Hi
I hope this posts as I have not been able to for some time.
back in 2015 I applied for an admin post with Probation in a seaside resort that lost its pier in a fire many years ago.
CV was accepted,2 telephone interviews then selected for a face to face interview. I told my then Probation Officer who said he would support me.
Two days later I was told they could not offer me the role due to my offence being a sexual one.
As ever I mean no offence as I cannot judge but many whose offences have ruined or ended the life of a human being are employed but paying for sex means I can't.
Take care all.
