Try Timpsons - the cobblers.

They have a standing policy that 10% of their employee base must come from the formerly incarcerated. Most of these workers will be working in the shops, actually repairing the shoes, but I think the policy is across the business for roles in head office should be part of this commitment

I think with your legal skills you have a shot at the legal department, with programming definitely a shot in IT department.

Check out the careers page - one front page, it mentions ex-offenders. Give it a shot. Also, I've reached out to James Timpson, to see if he knows of any other UK employers who have similar commitments. Good luck!
