Background Check for OC asks to contact current bank (SA)

Hey guys,

Currently a SA in IB in London. I'm a final year student so I landed an OC in the buyside right after my SA ends.

While doing the Background Check for this OC, they have asked me to contact my current employer. Any idea on how to handle this without jeopardizing the FT return offer possibility in my current bank? I would take the offer in my bank over this buyside gig but got no idea how to explain this to my bank
