Perculiar employment history

My wife and I are about to start a mortgage application and due to her being made redundant last year, she took up an FTC position to keep an income. She’s been in her current fixed term contract since November and she is due to be there until March next year. I see in lending criteria that you either need to have been in your contract for 12 months or if it is less, you are required to have 6-24 months (depending on the lender) remaining on it. Does anyone know if lenders will factor in her permanent employment to top up the 2 years previous? All have been in the same industry. Thanks in advance.
