    No. I take it for the £10,500 she works more than 30 hours a week? That's all they're interested in. Regarding the income, estimate what you think she'll get from this over the year and give them that figure.

  • You do not need to keep changing the number of hours with TCO if they are not guaranteed. You dont need to make them aware that she has a 2nd job other that to just make sure that any income details you give them are inclusive of the earnings from the nursing job.
