Self employment and potential new job query

Hi. First of all hope everyone is finding ways to hang on in there through this incredibly challenging time. 
My husband has been a self employed electrician for the past few years. Obviously we are waiting with baited breath for a support package. I’m in my final year of studies and don’t work. 
The question is...he has a job interview for part time temporary work at a supermarket tomorrow as we are absolutely not in the financial position to wait to hear if we could claim UC. However, if he was to take this job, does anyone know if this would stop any entitlement we would get for him as a self employed worker? The supermarket is only offering part time temp work so it wouldn’t be worth taking if this meant he couldn’t get any potential self employment packages that come up. 
Cheers for reading!

    Since no package has been announced we have no way of knowing what will be in it.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
