Had an interview and got offered the job. Very happy. During the phone call to offer me the job (and after I was told they wanted to offer it to me) I was asked if my reasons for wanting part time were because of childcare. I was told it was a personal question and I didn't have to answer. Job was advertised as full time with Job share considered. I went through the guaranteed interview scheme so on my form I stated what my health condition was, so assuming they did know.
But I'm confused as to why this was asked after I was offered the job. If I had said it is for child care reasons, would that have gone against me? Would they have recinded the job offer them and there? I told them it was for health reasons, which it mainly is.
