I am going for a part time job (10 hrs a week) that I would really like to fit around the children in school hours. I haven't done an interview since having children and obviously they are a big consideration in whether I can take the job or not.
I was wondering how much I should say about the children at the interview and whether I should ask how flexible they would be about working hours i.e. if I can change my days if the children are ill/have school assemblies etc. or if I can work all my hours in one day during the holidays to make childcare easier. I feel they should know about the children especially as I am overqualified for the job but I don't want to think I am being difficult or fussy.
This is a job where I think there is no reason why they can't be flexible.
Your thoughts would be appreciated
