First job returning to work since being a sahm for 14 years.

I was a professional, highly paid.

I accept that 14 years no experience, I am bloody lucky to have secured this position!.

The detail
£23,500 a year
pro rata 24 hours a week so £14,500

HR has said that I was an exceptional candidate and they offered me the job that evening. I have the offer letter and asked for the weekend to consider.

To fit better with school, I would like to work 22.5 hours rather than 24 hours a week.

Could I go back and say that I will accept the position but 1.5 hours less a week for the same salary?

I was given the impression that mr salary would slightly increase after a short period.

They are apparently fairly flexible re hours.

Many thanks
