Letting manager know

Does anyone have any advice of how to give my manager the heads up that I've been offered a new job and that I'll be ready to give my notice once the new job confirms references and DBs.

I love the ethics of my current company and I get on really well with everyone, especially my boss and have been there many years.

It will be a shock to them but ultimately I feel my career is heading in a slightly different direction which I need to follow with the opportunity I've been offered.

Stupidly worried about telling her 😞

That's not advice I would follow. I've never known anyone tell their existing employer until they've had the offer of the new job in writing unless it's public sector or another job in the same company.

I have just received a conditional offer and they have asked within the email if they are happy for me for them to contact my references.

Is the conditional offer as good as contract? I'm so unsure on the process!

The post is with local authority if that helps?

A conditional offer is not as good as a contract. Don't tell anyone until you've got your formal offer and start date at the very least.
