HMRC will soon close down the contractor "loophole" and I expect the gig economy will be done at the same time.Comment

OP, you sound like a good person with your heart in the right place.
Your managerial report sounds as if they are nepotistic and best avoided. The wording of a conversation regarding flexible hours needs to be carefully conducted. It sounds like no matter how tentatively you worded this to this manager they would have found a reason to get rid of you.
You are too good for that business and better off elsewhere. I would echo others that it is outrageous that companies are outsourcing such jobs just to reduce liability. This should be closed down soon, as it is destroying many jobs at the bottom (not yours), such as easy plumbing jobs that are 80% of the daily plumber fixes, delivery companies, you name it.
Good luck.Comment

Following an exemplorary one to one just days before, my supervisor felt that my newly acquired status as a single mum would not be compatible to the job role. Is this even legal?Comment

Yes there's some odd use of terminology; remember there are sectors who have moved into contract work/self employment who haven't lived the IR35 dream for the past 20-ish years. People who just want to work and pay their bills, not realising that companies placing or hiring them are not going to tell them anything useful. We all had to learn, so will they.Comment
