Employment in future...

My OH was in a similar position. They are working nights in a warehouse - under 18s can't work night shifts. He hasn't been arrested yet so hasn't had to disclose to new job.
Hi King85, while my husband was on bail, he lost his job and started working in a manual job, where he had to pack things. Agency work. Since he's been released under investigation, he's found a job in his old profession again.
We don't know yet what the future holds if and when he is charged, but for now we're okay.
I don't know where you live, but generally there is always jobs to tie you over, even if it's crappy jobs. Don't worry too much xx

Hi,
My person was arrested at work and was remanded until sentencing, so unfortunately no advice on finding employment pre sentencing. His first probation officer was a bit gung-ho and told him he had to disclose at interview which obviously impacted his ability to find work. He now works nights at Asda as they don't ask. His current probation officer and offender manager have no issues with this. I have mentioned on another post that it's important to check the SHPO conditions are inline with the offences prior to sentencing as a no contact clause may hinder his chances of employment being accepted. Also, important to mention that if it's a suspended sentence or a situation where he is on licence that probation have more of a say than in a case like my person where it's a community order. I hope this makes sense and helps you. He could contact unlock for advice too whilst under investigation/on bail xxx

We're post sentencing and husband is at risk of losing his job. Probation said not to worry as they can always find work for offenders, even if it is packing etc.
My partner lost his job when arrested for the same reasons - work laptop seized and the organisation he worked for could not have their reputation into question.
He did however get a job a few months later as he didn't need to disclose being under investigation (unless stated in employment contract those under investigation do not legally need to disclose).
Thankfully when sentenced it wasn't in the media and he didn't work with under 18s and didn't need to tell his work and so carried on.
He then went to look for a new job and did struggle at first as alot of employers ask about unspent convictions. He did get a job with a small company that didn't ask and not required in his contract and earning a good amount of money. So I would consider smaller firms and businesses post sentencing - it isn't impossible for offenders to get jobs. In all he has been unemployed for less than four months post the knock- he was sentenced in summer 2019.
There is also the consideration of jobs that do DBS checks. In his previous job he was asked for a check following them winning a contract with a client that will only allow staff on site with a DBS check and partner declined for these checks, thankfully his work didn't ask why. It did mean he lost out on experience and hampered his chances of moving up the company.
