2 jobs, 1 temporary. Chances of mortgage

I have a little dilemma
I spoke to my HR department who have informed me that 1 of my 2 jobs is temporary, both are with the same employer.
I took a second job about a year and a half ago to help with buying my first home.
My second job is temporary until 31.03.18
Basically there is an SLA agreement in place so the post will never be permanent. i have been advised that after 3 years of continuous employment i would under the rules of the local authority be permanent
MA asked me to get it on headed paper but my line manager isn't able to do that.
The MA informed me that without the second job being taken into account the salary from job 1 is to small on it's own to secure the size of mortgage i would want. Is this true?
I'm also sole applicant if thats of any use.
Thanks in advance.

It certainly sounds right. The second job could be taken off you when your contract ends and in the mortgage companies views you would then be unable to afford the mortgage.0

not sure tbh
Just had a chat with HR and they may be able to do something about it but not without my line managers permission.0
