Are voluntary organisations flexible when it comes to working hours?

Today I have just been offered a job as an advice support worker with the legal advice bureau..

My office hours will be 9.30am - 4.30pm. However, I have two children and my local creche is only open 9:30 - 3pm.

I will have to tell my employer, but should I tell her immediately? Husband says I should wait a bit, but surely my employer needs to know these things asap.

I am not sure exactly when he suggests I should tell her (can't get hold of him right now), but I am not sure of the benefits of telling her later. I wanted to tell her before my interview actually, but my husband persuaded me that it may jeopardise my chances of being employed. I really want the role, so I didn't mention it to her.

What do you people think? Is it a big deal? Will a voluntary organisation be more flexible?

uk only – How much benefits would I get if I work 16 hours I am a single mum to 1 child? ?

I have used entitledto.co.uk Does this sound right?
If I work 16 hours and earn £120 gross,
My rent is £205, council tax £15, & childcare would cost £100ish.
I get £5 from CSA, and £18.80 Child Benefit.
So Entitled to calculates:
£198.85 Tax Credits
£2.61 Council Tax Benefit
£179.72 Housing Benefit
= £381.18 weekly
+ £18.80 Child Benefit
+ £5.00 Maintenance
+ £115 wages
+ £60 In work credit payment (for 52 weeks only)
= £579.98 Weekly
- £100 childcare
- £205 rent
- £15 council tax
= £259.98 Weekly compared to £120 on benefits.

Any single mums out there know if this sounds right thanks??

In Work Credit is not counted for HB /CTB purposes. I know this for a fact!
