Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working for Monmouthshire Citizens Advice – much will depend on the type of job you have applied for and the background and circumstances of your offence. For some posts, an offer of employment will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If this applies to the post for which you are applying, this will be noted in the application pack. Have you had any previous convictions not regarded as spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974? *
