Instead, write up and work through the terms of your engagement with them, but dictate your own suitable terms with some room for negotiation. Make a point of stating that you will not be increasing your hourly rate, perhaps in return for a guaranteed number of hours and level of service per week but that you may charge extra for any works over and above that level of service.
NB: I presume you currently work through an agency. Make sure you do make your hourly rate a divisor of that of which the end client pays your agency and not the daily rate that your agency pays you. If in doubt, add 10% to your day rate and use that figure.
