Conditional Job Offer Letter

About this document

What it’s for

A ready-to-send letter offering a job to a successful candidate, subject to conditions such as right-to-work evidence, references and any required checks. It summarises the main terms, explains what the candidate must do to accept and what happens if a condition is not met.

When to use it

  • After a verbal offer has been accepted in principle
  • Before the contract of employment is issued, or with it
  • For permanent, fixed-term or part-time roles (choose the options that fit)

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Conditions of this offer
  • What happens next

How to complete it

  • Complete the summary table with the same terms you will put in the contract
  • Keep only the conditions that genuinely apply to the role
  • Choose the option paragraphs that fit and delete the others
  • Enclose the contract and any forms, and diarise the reply date

Key points to check

  • A right-to-work check must be done before the person starts work
  • Do not ask health questions before making an offer (Equality Act 2010, s.60)
  • Withdrawing an accepted offer can be a breach of contract
