First Time Home Buyer Deposit Saving Advice Help

I work for the NHS and as a first time buyer I'm trying to save as much as possible over the next year for a flat. I already have a lifetime ISA. Would I better further saving in another ISA or a savings account? I would need an account that would be available for instant access after a year.
