Sorry if this has been asked before.
I've recently accepted a new job offer, I've completed various forms and submitted an online Dbs check yesterday, and the new employer is requesting references.
My current employer requires 1 months notice and ideally I'd like to start the new job ASAP (much better money and currently skint).
Do I wait a week or two and hand my notice in, or play it safe and wait for dbs and references to come back first?
Also, should I verbally notify my supervisor that I've got a job and should be handing in my notice in the near future, or leave it until I do hand it in?
Thanks in advance
