    You'll need to let your new job know about you full time job and earnings so they can set up the appropriate tax code.

    Check your contract with your main job - it mayrequire you to get their agreement bfore taking on a second job

    You do not need to tell your new employer about your other earnings. You should declare that you have another job ( on a new starter checklist )and you will then be put onto BR tax code and pay 20% tax on all earnings in this job. This will result in the correct tax being deducted at the moment and would only need any adjustment if your combined incomes took you into the 40% tax band.
    If you declined to complete the new starter checklist then you would be put onto tax code 0T which would make no difference to the tax you pay.

    You don't need to do this. As long as combined you're within the threshold, no employer really needs to know the earnings from the other job.

    Yes - some companies require exclusivity from you. I.e. first dibs at what hours/days they want you to do, not working for competitors etc.

    There is no need for any employer to know the actual amount of earnings in the other job. All they have to do is operate using the BR tax code or one supplied by HMRC if different (in the instances where an employee asks them to split the code between the employers).

    Every employer says that, even jobs on a 10 hour a week contract still expect you to be available at the drop of a hat 24/7. You just tell them what you can and can't work.
