I'm currently working for the NHS and have just been offered a new job (externally) today.
The new employer wants to get the ball rolling with contacting my referee but I asked them to wait till I've had chance to speak to her tomorrow (as a matter of courtesy and respect).
They said no problem. So, I plan to mention the new offer to my manager tomorrow to I've her the heads up.
However, I'm not in position to actually and officially hand in my notice tomorrow.
Will do that when I get a contract.
Is it acceptable in the NHS to tell manager about having accepted the offer but hand in notice later on?
I mean, if the new job offer falls through or anything before I've officially handed in my notice. If that makes sense?
I only want to tell her verbally about it tomorrow as they want to contact her for the reference but I know it will take a bit of time for them to write up my contract and do all the background checks etc.
I've had an email from the interviewer confirming that they would like me to have the job.
