Advice needed about change in role please
I currently work for a Trust in a Band 4 role but it's a secondment so it is temporary. I've applied for a permanent Band 4 role in another department, where I've been invited for interview (next week).
At the same time, I've applied for a Band 5 role which I genuinely think I'll be invited to, but the interview date is in a couple of weeks' time (mid June).
If I get offered the Band 4 role, go for the Band 5 interview and end up getting offered the Band 5 role (which I'd prefer), can I just decline the Band 4 offer and go ahead with the Band 5 one?
The roles are all in the same Trust and I believe the notice period is 2 months for Band 4 roles.
Not sure how to go about it because I don't want to lose one role in case the other one doesn't follow through if that makes sense?
I might just be overthinking it all!
