If you only have a caution then it should not affect your job situation you only have to declare it if you got charged and went to court. Then you would have a criminal record.

a caution lasts for 5 years if you are in england, and yes it can affect the jobs you can get within that 5 years, your solictor should of in formed you of this.. as mine did me and i got my caution not long ago... i think you will find it will effect a job in the prison service as you will have to tell them of this caution.
after the 5 years you will not have to put this on any job application form any more..

It might affect your application as it was a caution for violent behaviour but it obviously wasnt serious enough to warrant a criminal comviction in court so they may look on it in a more positive light. You should call the recruitment office of the place your applying just to check make sure your not wasting your time.

Shouldn't affect your application. However there is bound to be a space to list criminal convictions on the form. Make sure you put down your caution and be transparent about it.

It depends what it says on the application form,if it says 'have you any previous convictions' then you dont mention it but if it specifies cautions then you must.My daughter joined H.M.P. and had a juvenile caution which they did not request.

Its only a caution so its ok, you wont be affected by it. If you are really worried about it ask cab, its free which is also good.
