    Basically just wondering what employers mean by "contract type: flexible"

    Is it they require you to be flexible ? or that they can be flexible with regards to the times/hours you work ?

    Applying for a few jobs atm such as this one: https://apply.tesco-careers.com/members/modules/job/detail.php?record=11946

    and its just not entirely clear to me what they mean by flexible.:confused:

    It usually just infers that the hours and days you work arent strictly set.

    In the link, I would imagine the days you work are flexible but the hours are standard.

    The flexibility is more on your side, a roster goes up once a week with the days you are working. You can ask in advance not to be scheduled for certain days and most employers will be sound about that.

    Sounds like a zero hour contract to me.
