I've been made a great job offer. Yay!! I currently work 27 hours per week and the new job is full time. I need to start a bit late (15 mins) for the first month due to a childcare issue. I could avoid this but it would mean pulling DS out if school early for a month. I'm happy to work a shorter lunch to cover this.
I'd like to finish 30mins early. When I mentioned this during the call to offer me the job they didn't sound too sure. I'm meeting them this week.
I don't know what I'm asking really. I've asked for the T&C of employment so I can see if there's flexibility to start early / reduce lunch but I've not been sent them yet.
I'm really thrilled about the new job but going full time again is making me even though it will make little difference to the kids in terms of how much I see them.
Plus the summer's a childcare nightmare, my current employer was very flexible as long as I did the hours but I don't know what the new place will be like!! So I'm stressing about that too!!
Anyway, any tips for how I can approach possibly asking for reduced hours? It's the sort of job where's it's feasible to catch up on email etc in the evening. I only want to reduce by 2.5 hours.
