Sounds like he was well qualified for the job.

From The Daily Mail:

An NHS chief has been sacked from his £250,000-a-year job after it was revealed that he is a convicted armed robber.

Craig Alexander was jailed after holding up a busy Tesco Express store at gunpoint in 2001 and threatening staff and customers before fleeing with almost £1,250 in cash and cheques.

On his release he lied about his three-and-a-half-year stint in prison and was hired for the senior post of interim borough director at NHS Brent, where he was in charge of multi-million-pound taxpayer-funded budgets.

You can just imagine the interview:

NHS HR director: "I trust that you've done your research on how the NHS is funded. You've applied for a management post and you must realise we have certain guidelines here. So I have to start by asking: have you ever robbed the general public in order to line your own pockets?"

Candidate: "Well... I've done a couple of bank jobs, nothing special, but at least you know I've got the balls for it."

NHS HR Director: "OK Great, when can you start?"
