Casual work advice

Hi I get child tax credit and my husband works full time. I've been offered a job as a relief dinner lady if one if the others is off sick. How do I explain this to tax credits as I'm not guaranteed any work

    work out an estimate (which is all you will be able to do) of what your income will be from this job and advise them of the revised estimated household income for the current tax year - assuming it will not make you >£5k higher than last year then there will be no change to your tax credits
