Types of staff contract w/r/t mortgages

Options
Hi all
My o/h is taking on a new job and has been offered the choice of a staff contract or an 'open-ended contract' which pays slightly more but has fewer benefits. We're weighing up the options but wondered if an open-ended contract would be any hindrance in getting a mortgage. We already have one and have re-mortgaged twice in the past but have always had staff contracts. We're finding out a bit more about what the difference is but just wondered if anyone had any advice, specifically with regards to how this would be seen when getting a mortgage (we're hoping to buy a new place in the next few years).

    depends what they mean by "open ended" don't think that has any regular meaning.

    make sure they don'r fall foul of any part time or fixed term unfare conditions legislation.
