JSA and part time job allowances?

At the end of last year I did a bit of new deal volunteering (read: forced volunteering lol) but couldn't get a full time job there due to future jobs fund bureaucracy that says only under 25s can be hired..


To cut a long story short out of that I have been offered a paid Saturday job for a few hours. (yay! :D)

They want me to work there but I have a question about JSA benefits; will my money be docked entirely so it will not be worth me doing it?
