So my previous company was very flexible with hours and we would adapt if we loved the candidate but it was a very responsive company generally which is why I ask regarding the standard with other companies. We would not have minded people applying for a full-time role then negotiating for a part-time one. So I don't think I have been inappropriate in applying for this one.

I would not lie if asked the question directly- of course! Just not sure how I would negotiate, that was what I was trying to ask. I think I would be more comfortable bringing it up in the interview myself.
