Under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, ex-offenders whose convictions are 'spent' become a 'rehabilitated person'. This means that the conviction doesn’t have to be declared for most purposes, such as applying for a job.  Employees are also protected against dismissal (with some exceptions) and employers cannot discriminate against a person because of a spent conviction. There are some exceptions, for example jobs relating to working with children, the sick and disabled people.
