Sorry, I missed this on my first read. Unfortunately your conviction is still classed as unspent and employers can use this as an excuse not to employ you although many won’t. As it’s a violent offence, again, most will not be too put off by that. Theft of any kind might be another story.
The rules regarding spent convictions changed a few years ago and they now become spent much quicker than before. The reason I asked the length of your conviction is because that relates to how quick your conviction becomes spent.

Remember, most employers in our line of work will only be able to require you to provide a Basic CRB check. This will not show up unspent conviction and as such, you can lie to future employers about having a record. Yes, I said lie, this is your right under the Rehabilitation Of Offenders Act. Employers need a good excuse to require Standard or Enhanced CRBs and will usually need to involve working with children or vulnerable adults.
