MOJ rejected my Caseworker application due to a previous dismissal, is there anything I can do?
I was dismissed from a previous role as I failed to disclose an arrest- there were no charges ever brought to me ( it was NFA) and I asked the olive if I needed to disclose it and they said no.
I later found out in an HR meeting that I did have to disclose and gave full details to my employer, however they felt I had breached their code of conduct and dismissed me. This was in 2023.
In my application for the MOJ I have been upfront and disclosed everything, I have been waiting since February and after passing all checks they have withdrawn my application.
I really wanted this job and am gutted. It was a genuine mistake on my part and as soon as I knew I had to disclose the arrest to my former employer I did- and as I said I have been completely upfront with the MOJ and disclosed everything including all disciplinary notes and letters.
Is there any point making an appeal? Or should I just move on. It feels really unfair 😢
