Is 'also' needed in the following sentences?

1- Beside working as a doctor, he 'also' write novels in spare time.

Actually, there are several serious mistakes in the sentence above. I wouldn't use "also" mainly because it might be understood that he also works as a doctor in his spare time:

2- Besides working as a doctor, he writes novels in his spare time.
