References

57 Posts

So, after my long career with the nhs and several long term roles I moved out of the nhs last month but really not enjoying the new role and have been now offered another role within the nhs. My question is I haven't put my new employer on my list of referees having only been there one month but they are listed as an employer. My previous employers and prior to that are all happy to give references. Will they need to contact my current employer only having been there one month and they're not listed as a reference? if so I may as well leave now which obviously puts me at risk somewhat in terms of employment. Cheers folks 👍

If they want references from x number of previous employers or for y years, they are unlikely to rule out your current employer.
Did you apply by completing an application form or send a CV listing referees at the end? I would expect that it was the former and they would have specified what references they wanted to take up.

Even then, just because a reference is being requested doesn't mean you have to resign.
