Yeah, I know about my tax liability. In fact, after tax and losing tax credits, it's hardly worth it but it's a means to an end!

Having looked at the regulations more closely, it looks like I'll be falling foul of the 11 consecutive hours rest rule as well (finishing at 10pm in job 2 and starting at 8:30am in job 1) several days a week. I have no issues with the hours I'll be working (time will tell if it's too much) as the roles are completely different, I just don't want to be prevented from even giving it a go by someone 'claiming' to have my best interests at heart.

Though you wouldn't have 11 hours between some shifts, that rest is an entitlement not a rule which you have to adher to if you don't want.

Given your main employer is public sector, you will likely be contractualy compelled to sign a WTR opt out in addition to getting their permission to undetake additional employment.

This means that if you want to work more than 48 hours on average, your public sector employer will want you to sign an opt out, not that your contract would compell you to sign an opt out come what may. Technically the other employer too should receive a signed opt out for their records.
