Multiple jobs are fine, contracts must be permanent, the owner of the property must give consent to your partner living with you.

Thank you so much for your advice. Do you advise that we wait until I've been in work for 6 months, before making the application?

Also, another question. I have heard of something called an 'Unmarried Partner Visa'. Is this more difficult to obtain than a spouse visa? Who is eligible to apply? Does it make it harder to stay in the UK longer term?

You must have lived together for two years, though a break of 6 months is permitted.  Did you live with him when you were out there, and do you have documentary evidence?  How long have you been back?

We were together 3 months but living separately, then I came back to the UK for 5 months. I went back, we lived together for 8 months, then came home in July. I have been back in the UK for 5 months. So I guess that visa is not applicable to us...

It's not.
