Working as and when required, what does this mean with tax credits?

[Nats21]

Hiya. I was hoping you girls could help me. I started a job on Tuesday doing a shift at a day nursery, the thing is its as an and when required basis so i've no idea how many days i'll be doing, it'll differ each week, i'll never do more then twice a week as I don't want to leave Callum for more then that, plus my mom can only have him for about 2 days of the week as she has stuff on too. Where does this leave me with child tax credits? Obviously in the past i could let them know my actual income but i've no idea how much i'll be getting so not sure what to say to them when I do ring. Thanks for any help xx

Im not 100% sure but i think you have to keep in documentated the hours you work every week and i think tax credits will ask for it weekly or monthly, please dont quote me as im not entirely sure but i do think i read this before.

Thats great, thanks for that, i won't quote you don't worry We're off on holiday this week but i'm due to go in monday after that and they said they'll have some more shifts for me, once I know these i'll ring up tax credits and ask them if what you've said is right. Thanks for your help xx
