Fair-chance hiring leads after 11 years as an electrician's helper

A few employers in Birmingham say they hire people with a record, including a manufacturer and a warehouse. They still run a background check later but consider it case by case. Any other leads?

Ask the workforce centre about bonding programmes. They sometimes help employers feel comfortable.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
