However, working longer working hours is not unusual and some roles will involve some evening and weekend work. It would not be uncommon or more likely to work unsocial, longer than usual hours and as required. Working hours can be unpredictable as you need to be flexible to meet clients' needs. Part-time work and career breaks are sometimes possible, but you'll need to keep up to date with changes to the law. Hybrid work - spending some time working from home and some in the office - could also be possible.
