Evidence focus: Explain the new role and the employment risk clearly

The wider assessment
Explain the new role and the employment risk clearly
We review whether the role is permanent or fixed term, the probation length, any notice provisions and your history in the same profession. A lender may ask for the signed contract, first payslip or employer confirmation. The timing of an application can be as important as the headline salary.
Do not assume a future salary or successful completion of probation will be accepted before it is evidenced. Employment changes must be disclosed throughout the application.
