A man claimed to be a working paramedic despite being dismissed to get a job at a funeral parlour. Andrew Braithwaite, 52, told his new prospective employers that he was a paramedic and that he had no previous convictions on his record.
However, it was later discovered that he had been dismissed from his role as a qualified medic and had previously committed offences of dishonesty, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Braithwaite, of Rossendale, admitted fraud by false representation and was sentenced to a 12 month conditional discharge.
