Mortgage application, FTC and perm job

All,
Apologies for the new post but I've not seen it covered anywhere.

I have a permanent job with a school, I also start a new job with the school in September. The new job is a FTC for one year (expected to be a rolling contract).

#edit.. To clarify I will be working in both roles, the FTC and the permanent contract for the foreseeable.

Mortgage advisor says that the FTC job cannot be counted as salary towards a mortgage as I've not been in post for a year. Technically true as of course its a new contract but I have been with the company with the permanent job for over 3 years.

The problem seems to have been referred around a little, I just want to double check to see if anyone else has experience with this and if its something I need to make a stand about ( the extra salary would help lower the deposit I need to make and generally make things a lot easier for me).

Happy to clarify if none of that makes sense, Thanks in advance.

    You are switching contract terms and in the process losing the permanency. So there's no guarantee that in a years time you will have a job.

    I knew I hadn't explained it well!. I'll have both jobs at the same time, one pay slip from one company, but two different pay rates, and different contracts to reflect the different jobs ( teaching and IT management). So I could lose the teaching (FTC) job in a year but I would still have the IT management job.

    Thanks :)
