Help please for a ftb

Me and my girlfriend are looking to buy a house in Oct/Nov. We have a deposit of £15k and are looking to buy a house for £80/85k im employed on a permanent contract and have been for about 8 years and currently earn £15k my girlfriend is in her final year qualifying as a teacher and has a job for September however it is initially for 1 year (due to 2 schools merging) and she will start on £21k. Will her being on a 1 year contract affect us getting a mortgage? and also with her only have been working for a month or two when we require the mortgage matter?
The other thing what do lenders look at for proof of my income? as i currently pay for sharesave through work and these come out of my wage (these can be cancelled if i chose at any time) so when the wage is paid into my account it is for less then it really is.
Thanks for any help
Dave
