I'm a veterinarian who does emergency work. I'm expected to be available at night/weekends for my clients. If I.got a night job and then couldn't show up.for emergencies because I had responsibilities with my other job my clients would be very rightly pissed off. When you are a care provider you need to.be available to.provide care as contracted
Like showing up.for appointments
If this is happening a lot your T is screwing up by not scheduling you at a day/time when her other job won't interfere. You aren't at fault. If this is happening a lot you have every right to.complain and expect her to arrange things so you aren't getting jerked around
