Any NHS HR bods or unions reps out there?

My employer has changed my working pattern a few days before I return to work from maternity, as this will now cause me financial hardship (I was working weekends before and would now need to put kids in nursery), could I argue that the 3 months you need to return for in order to not pay back omp could be waivered? I also wonder if there should be more notice given to myself.
Thanks.

Is the change within your contact?

You could try a flexible working application but the NHS seems to get away with changing employees working pattern these days. No consideration for working parents at all.
Hope you get sorted.
