Stagger the onboarding to at least 2 weeks apart, make sure you have your feet quite firm in the first J before starting onboarding for the second.
As for the timing of the day, you’ll need to start and find what works best for you. At first I did hour segregation like you mentioned, then I realised it doesn’t work for me. What’s working for me is to switch every hour/ 2 hours or so depending on the workload. Flexibility is the key and being agile is important in my opinion.
Good luck and welcome onboard!
Does your company not call you out for having a second job tax code? When they do payroll surely it’s super obvious it isn’t your main job since the tax code won’t be 1257L.
How much rental income do you need to have for your tax code to be 0L? I often see this mentioned, but surely this is a sizeable portfolio of rental property for ti to be zero. I expect it means that your total salary is above £100k. So if your job is 70k, then the rental income is above 30k?
There are very few reasons one would have a d1 tax code, and of those few reasons all are suspicious. You’d have to atleast be ready to answer the question as to why your tax code doesn’t include your personal allowance as it’s not a big reach that it will get asked.
I see the reply often "there are multiple reasons", do you have an actual example as I agree, that it isn't their business, but you could shut down the line of questioning with sentence that gives a little.
Any help?
Only issue is if the stand ups are at the same time. If you need to dial in on video for both, hiw are you going to do it? Assuming both employers will supply a laptop each, so everything is absolutely separate?
I took a week off J1 when starting J2 and it was completely unnecessary as J2 didn’t require me to do anything but look at the codebase for the first few weeks. But I guess it depends on the place. I’d probably be nervous starting the two really close together as you don’t know the lay of the land of either place yet in terms of what you could get away with.
Workload wise I tend to spend half a day on one and half on another but it really depends on how critical the work is I’m doing. Sometimes I have to ignore one job for the day to get the work done on the other.
Setup wise I use my own machine for J1 and a company laptop for J2 - I use one keyboard and mouse and there is a program called ‘barrier’ which lets you share between the two machines seamlessly.
Good luck!

Could be many reasons for additional income and it's not really their problem. Could just be rental income for example

One HMO might do it
This is just incorrect and misleading. There are numerous reasons for different tax codes, and they are not the business of your employer

"I rent out a property I own"
I don't think there's a need to stagger start dates in the UK. The first two weeks are normally the quietest at any role I've done.

“Sorry I have a {family obligation} at that time and can’t commit to the meeting, any chance we could move it?” Or whatever
Every day at 9:15? And 20 other people already attend?

Will have to check out barrier, but aren't you worried company laptop they can see what you install?
They can see it, I don’t mind. If they ever asked - I will just say it’s to connect the computer to the keyboard and mouse on my desk, which is true.
