If his work is sporadic, he should plan on having 12 months expenses in the bank. That appears to be around the $500/month he pays you.

He should also be setting aside around 15% for retirement. have him wire 15% every check to a UK bank account/investment account. I would guess some banks would allow him to have a UK based account and accept US deposits.
