Will I still receive furlough if I take on a second part time job?

[Deleted User]

I was furloughed from my zero hours contract. Apparently I get 80% of my average earnings from the past three months as my contract is zero hours. So this probably amounts to a total of about £450.

That's great and all - I live with my parents paying 1/3 of all bills so it's about enough, but I am really bored and was considering taking on another part time job. 
If I took on another job for 20 hours a week, would I still receive the £450 furlough money?

People furloughed on a zero hour contract for, say, April 2020 should receive 80% of the higher of their pay for April 2019 or their average monthly wage for 2019/20. Past 3 months is not an acceptable calculation.
If your zero hour contract allows you to work for someone else, you can do so. A second job has no impact on furlough.

You can do a second (or even a third) job as long as the employment contract of your first job permits it. Employers might be reluctant to take you on though if you'll leave to go back to the first job once they reopen, and you stop being furloughed.

Thanks. 

I'm unlikely to be back before October as I work in the lesuire industry

My furlough is calculated on the past three months and I am not the only one. I don't see why it's unacceptable if hours are variable.

Because that is not how the guidance or the legislation says it is done.
