Would future employers wait on someone working their redundancy notice period?

My boss made it clear he might let me off by a week or so but anything more I’ll not get my redundancy which is 8 weeks pay. Head of HR said any decent employer will be willing to wait on you but then she would say that anyway.
What’s your thoughts?

8 Weeks is nothing, have you a job offer?0

Probably depends on how many applicants. Most people have to give at least 4 weeks notice at their current place of employment.0

Yes, any employer that's decent will realise that anyone they hire is going to have to work their notice with their old employer. Anything 4-12 weeks is normal. If you've already handed in your notice then I imagine it's not all that likely you would have a new job in hand with a start date less than 8 weeks away anyway - most employers are going to take a few weeks to hire and sort out the paperwork etc.1

So apply. 1 week for them to review applications. 1 - 2 weeks before an interview. 1 week for them to agree they want you. That's leaves 4 weeks until you can join them. That's not a problem at all.
