I do not have personal experience on the job seeker side, but I do know some (2) people who have managed to get government jobs with a record.

I suspect the nature of your offense would make it harder or impossible, but the public sector is a weird place- they often have very specific scoring criteria that they must follow for hiring decisions and if criminal record is not part of it they really will not consider it (at least that is my interpretation of what one of my friends said.)
