Is UC taxable income

Hello Everyone,
I wonder if someone would mind telling me whether Universal Credit is classed as 'Taxable Income'.
I have secured a part time job with the NHS and they would like to know whether I have been receiving 'Taxable Job Seekers Allowance' during this financial year (there was no mention of UC on their form).
I had been receiving Universal Credit for 6 months of this financial year (I signed off in September). I requested a tax rebate for the previous financial year from HMRC and did advise them I was on UC and previous to that had been on Carers Allowance) they didn't seem to think this was relevant to my tax rebate.
I haven't yet started job but have to complete these details and just would like to get them right.
As always I am so grateful for any help.
Best regards,

UC is not taxable income.
Carer's Allowance is taxable income.

It's just to make sure you are on the correct tax code.0
