Employed and self employed at same time

If someone is employed full time and is a HR taxpayer, and they also do a little self employed work on the side, can they still use the £1k trading allowance?

So if £60k is earned through employment and taxes collected via PAYE, if they earned £1k on the side as a sole trader is that tax free or added to the £60k to give a total taxable income of £61k?

I thought it was tax free but someone has said to me that's only applicable if there's no other income so just looking to double check
