be very careful whether they ask you if you have a CAUTION or a CONVICTION. If they ask about a conviction you can say no - its more common to ask about a conviction than a caution.
But if you they specifically ask if you have a caution, they're gonna find out eventually so better to tell them
If they ask if anything will show up on your CRB then tell them about the caution, better to come clean -no one wants to employ a liar, and it will give you a chance to explain yourself

A CRB check looks at the information held on the Police National Computer (PNC), such as, convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings in England, Wales and those recorded from Scotland. There is also some Northern Ireland conviction data held on PNC.
A caution does not need to be disclosed if it is 'spent' under the rehabilitation of offenders act, but the NHS will probably use an enanced CRB check which shows even spect cautions or convictions.

If your going for an interview then no you don't have to tell them about your caution but if I were I would own up and reveal all.
They will appreciate your honesty and after all we all make the odd mistake or two in our lives.
If however you keep quiet and they should find out about your caution then you can kiss good by to a chance of a job and that will mean a job with any government run agency.
Just be honest and if it counts against you and you don't get the job then at least you can walk away with your head held high knowing you were honest and above board.
All the best,

What is a CRB check?
It depends on how old you are now and when you got your caution; if a juvenile it will expire by the time you're 21, as it's not a conviction it won't remain on your record.
It also depends on what you mean by caution and what it was for.
I would see what the results of the NHS checks are before deciding.

Best to be honest with them. They're going to find out anyway and it would be better coming from you rather than them finding out from the crb check, it would show that you're honest.
FYI - a crb check is a check with the criminal records bureau to see what a persons criminal history is. all jobs that deal with vulnerable people have to have them eg nurse, nanny, school worker

as long as you were not convicted and the caution wasnot for =sex,violence,drugs you dont have to tell them. If it was for something trivial why not nip it in the bud and tell them before they ask? honesty is always the best policy!! GOOD LUCK

That would depend on how long ago your caution was, what it was for and what the job is, try looking on www.crb.gov.uk

If they are doing a crb chek, then they will find out anyway. Best tell them what they want to know, otherwise if they find out you have lied to them you'll have certainly blown your chances.

YES!! When they find out about the caution and realise you didn't tell them you will be sacked.
