Employer FAQs

Absolutely. Many people on probation are already in full-time meaningful employment. In the minority of cases there may be some restrictions on a person on probation taking up full-time employment e.g. community service hours. Some convictions may prohibit a person from working in certain professions, and we can help you with more information. Working with a Training and Employment Officer is the best way to ensure any concerns are addressed, and any questions can be answered.

Working with us prior to recruitment allows us to develop a clear understanding of your requirements – the positions you want to fill and/or skills required. We can answer any questions you might have about hiring a person with criminal convictions, advise on disclosure requirements, or how to manage the person’s details sensitively. Once the person is in place, the Training and Employment Officer can be available to both the employer and the client to provide continued support or should any issues arise.
