Mortgage Renegotiation

I am currently paying off a mortgage which is fixed rate for 5 years. The fixed rate will expire in early 2017 and will need renegotiating at that time. At the moment I am contemplating switching from a permanent to a long term temporary position at the same salary. Is this likely to cause issues when renegotiating the mortgage i.e. will the bank be concerned if I still have a temporary contract at that point, or will they simply be interested in the fact that I have been paying off the mortgage in full each month for the past 5 years? I'm interested in the job but don't want to get into future difficulties.
Many thanks for any advice you can give.

    If you remain with your existing lender then your employment status won't be an issue. Lenders make offers they don't negotiate mortgage deals.

    Thank you Thrugelmir, although I'm presuming that if I do decide to switch lender then it could be problematic?
