It also scares me about moving from the relatively safe public sector back into the private sectory. ( Suffering a lack of confidence here which does not help)

I originally applied for the role about six months ago just before i had my breakdown so for them to call is unexpected.

I would also feel guilty about leaving my current employer after they have supported me through my illness, should I ?

Pat yourself on the back that you have received this offer, you obviously made quite an impression when you first applied.
I agree with Tinky on this.

Take heart that your skills are appreciated out side of the Public Sector, a lot of people don't have the where-with-all to cut it in the Private Sector and you do. However, your employers knows your history, and have proved that they are behind you so I would stick with them and avoid the inevitable upheaval you would experience if you changed employers and working conditions at the moment. If in the future you decided to try for another job you can do so when you are more able to cope with the extra pressure.
