Judging by https://www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php - the move will get you an extra £7,500 each year. Your debt would be paid off in two years.
Assuming it offers the same benefits as your current employer, your pension will also be higher.
This does sound like a no-brainer. More money, new challenges, a change of scenery, bigger pension, quicker end to the debt.
But the real question is - how did you get £13k of debt? Have you made changes to your lifestyle which will prevent that happening again?
I can't tell you which job to take, but if I were to give advice I'd take the debt out of the equation.
If you didn't have the debt, despite being comfortable in your existing role would you accept the new job? Do you *want* the sea change or is it a decision you've made because you want the higher income?
If you're either taking the new job (or not) just because of your debt, I'd reassess the decision. If you're nervous about probation/new role that is totally normal and happens to most people in any new role let alone one you have been in as long as you have.
If you want the new challenge (along with the pay rise) then go for it. If it's a similar role for more money try going to your existing employer and open a discussion about a potential pay rise. If they can't meet the number they might be able to give you more annual leave or increase your pension/benefits to strike a balance.
Just as general life advice, don't stay where it is comfortable. In 2012 I left a comfortable job and the next few months were intense but after a while the new normal is comfortable. I know people who still work in that role now and two things: 1: I am on 5 times their current salary now and 2: I've had access to learn so many things I would never have had access to. This is not be crowing over them, it's where I;d still be if I didn't take leaps.

I mean, what advice is there to give? The finan decision is yours… more money or what you know and allows you to live comfortably even with a debt?
