Help with estimating tax rebate - new job 1/2 way through year

Have a new job starting in November, been on JSA since start of tax year (long before that actually,.)

total gross earnings and JSA combined will be about £9,500 by end of 2015/2016 period-

would all the tax paid on wages (as under £10k threshold?) get refunded?

Or would tax code adjusted, so no / little tax charged, as I go through the year?

My calcs-
Approx 7 months JSA c £2,000.
5 months gross pay £7,500.

Average income tax on salary = c. £1,500 (20%?)
breathe in, breathe out- You're alive! Everything else is a bonus, right? RIGHT??
