Need some advise

Hi,
I had a car accident last October and was signed off work for 10 months

I had 2 jobs, but one of them was closing anyway, the other job was just 2 hours a day, So called my employers who said I need to get a certificate to say I'm fit for work from my doctor.

I sent off the certificate, 2 days later I get a phone call saying they don't know if I've still got my job as they had to cut 10 hours, I was never informed while I was signed off?

Can they do this?

Thanks

Not sure how you stand but my employer changed my job description while I was on sick leave, yet it was in my original contract and changes would be discussed. As you only worked 10 hours don't think there's much you can do.

your covered then by employment rights so you should have the right to go back to your job. What they should have done is dismissed you on capability reasons about 6 months into your time of because you were unable to do the work. As they haven't they either need to make you redundant (in a legal way) or let you return to work.
