Will I be asked about my employment history while applying for mortgage?

Hi
I have very recently secured a permanent full time job, and saved up enough for a sizable deposit. In the past, I’ve worked 1 full time job, which I then had to quit due to my relative becoming unwell. Since caring for my relative, I’ve worked for agencies whenever I’ve been able to.

As I’ve now got a permanent full time job, which I intend to stay in (as I’m not caring for relative any longer) will I be asked about my Past employment history when applying for mortgage? Or do they only focus on the present situation?
I’d be very grateful for help! Thanks a lot

Most lenders will want 6-12 months employment history.
It is not necessarily a problem if you have been employed less than that, but it could be with some lenders.
