It looks possible I will be made redundant and someone said that I could claim job seekers even if my husband works as I paid national insurance. Is this correct? Even though my husband is on 28000 a year?

That's right, if you'd paid N.I. for 2 years prior, you can claim contributions based JSA, which lasts for 6 months.
