Would this put an employer off hiring me?

[MrsPeas]

I've gone for a new job with better pay and a company car. More secure for me in the long run. I'm in senior management. I've got 13 years of experience in this field.

School have decided to cut after school club on a Friday and due to them having their own facilities, no childminder collects from the school. It's a nightmare. I have to leave at around 3pm on a Friday, this is temporary till school open it back up again. Now I have to be honest and let them know this at my interview tomorrow. Just wondering, would you accept this? Would it put you off? I'm willing to work through my dinner hours to make up the time lost (1.5 hours) I have really good references and a track record in my career. I'm just worried. I really want this job, it's perfect. Thankfully, I've only 1 year left at primary and I don't have to worry about childcare after that!

I've already had my telephone interview and they want me in tomorrow to meet the Team and talk salary/hours. It sounds promising, but I'm worried this will put them off.

No need to disclose this in the interview.

Wait and see if you are offered the job. At that point they are invested in you. That is when you as if they will be flexible in the contract.

As an employer it would not put me off.

Just to update you, I got the job!

I didn't mention it but they brought it up as they was aware I had children. As long as I do my site hours each week, they are flexible with working parents and school pick-ups which is great! I start in 2 weeks.

Thanks all 😁

Brilliant news, congrats.

Aww fab news op

Congrats! Brilliant news.

So good to see employers being proactively flexible too

I was quite surprised as I've always worked with non-flexible employers. They mentioned some other staff have later starts to do the school drop-offs also. It's an international company too so I don't know if that's why they are more flexible? I know alot of my new team are parents. Gives me a good feeling for the company based on this alone.
