Also Holiday camp or cruise ship jobs or become a clergy member or even a Charity fundraiser
And many more, But they all require you to possess a CBR certificate
Get a DBS Check
If you are planning on going down the work-related route then any jobs that come with accommodation mean you’ll be working with children or vulnerable people. Even if you’re not customer-facing, you’re in a position of responsibility.
You’ll need to have a recent Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This used to be called the CRB.
If you don’t have one, you can’t apply for one yourself. You’ll need to do so through your new employer (who may not allow you to start work until the check is completed).
The system is better than it used to be: you can sign up for the online DBS. Once you’ve had a check completed, this can be easily viewed and updated online by any employer seeking to hire you. It speeds up the process and gives them peace of mind they’ve got the most recent information
The primary role of the DBS is to help employers in England and Wales make recruitment decisions by issuing criminal records checks and preventing people from working with vulnerable groups who may not be safe to do so.
Amongst these vulnerable groups are children, babies, the elderly, people with learning disabilities of any age, or people with other mental health difficulties.
The main function of the DBS check is to provide an answer to the employer or organization with whom you’re volunteering to the following question: “Do you have any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or final warnings?”
Usually, you only really need a DBS check if you’re planning on working with vulnerable people and children, however, other jobs might also demand it and this is becoming more and more common.
A DBS check will determine whether or not an individual is on one of two barred lists in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland: one bar people from working with children, and the other with vulnerable adults.
When a check has been processed by the DBS the individual will receive a DBS certificate illustrating whether they are cleared to work with particular groups.
Under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act of 1974, criminals who have served a prison sentence of less than two and a half years and do not re-offend during a set ‘rehabilitation’ period after their release may have their conviction spent, which means it doesn’t show up anymore and is no longer relevant when the person is being considered for most jobs.
If you have unspent convictions – meaning you are still serving your probationary ‘rehabilitation’ period following sentencing – this can cause issues. However, if this is the case, it’s up to the employer whether this is or isn’t a problem. With work being seen as an essential part of prisoner rehabilitation, this is becoming far less of a barrier in current times. For example, Manchester’s ‘The Clink’ restaurant exclusively hires prisoners from HMP Styal as staff to rehabilitate them, a random piece of info but some people won't be over the moon about this whereas others would go out of their way to support this idea, it's all to do with preferences, past experiences .i
