I'm 32 weeks
I've been on sick leave and was offered an interview a little while ago which I accepted quite a bit in advanced. I went to the interview on Friday (whilst on sick, technically), and got a call yesterday evening to say I'd got the job!
This is fantastic news for me as it's local and I'm currently travelling over 2 hours a day to get to my current job. It's incredibly strenuous and isn't helping my SPD/sickness. The journey is a killer.
However, this makes things difficult for me now as I've accepted but they still don't know I'm pregnant.
When I accepted over the phone, I was told someone from HR (I think), would be in touch to arrange details and finalise things.. I was planning on telling them then but maybe it's best to wait until I sign something in writing before mentioning I'm pregnant?
What do I do now? Where do I even go from here? Do I just hand in my notice? If so, how so? Via letter or email? Do I tell my old job I have a new job?
This new job will be under the same employer (NHS), so I've been advised that my Maternity package won't change.
My notice period is 4 weeks, which they were aware of at interview, but obviously this gives me less time to actually work at new job before baby makes an appearance.
I really want to make this work. It's a fantastic opportunity for me and will even help my health. Even childcare arrangements will be easier with these new hours in my new role.
What do I do?
