Heading into your interview with this organization, you should have a pretty good idea of the scheduling expectations of the position from the job posting you read or the advertisement you saw. Be as honest as possible about your availability regarding evening, night, weekend, and holiday shifts. While reiterating that you are open and flexible, make sure that your interviewer knows of any personal commitments you have because these things must be discussed during the interview process.

"I am open to working any shift on any day as long as I have the schedule at least two weeks ahead of time. With my husband having a full-time job, I need to be able to plan for childcare during the weekday hours should the need arise. We are fortunate to have a great support system with family and friends if needed."
I can be flexible with my schedule, except I prefer not to work nights. I have done the night shift before, and my body doesn't hold up well with the night shift regularly. I can do any shifts needed during the day and will be happy to rotate through weekends and holidays if that is how your schedule works.
