Listed under "Vos qualités en action" in a supermarket job offer for employé de rayon h/f au bazar. I imagine it is linked to flexibile working hours but from the employee's point of view but I can't think of an expression. Any ideas welcome.

flexible approach to working hours
I think your idea is right, and I suggest this as a possible way of wording it from the employees perspective:
"We need you to have a flexible approach to working hours"

I suppose an alternative might be 'a flexible attitude towards working hours'

: no, it means that the person is willing to work all hours, odd hours, etc.// i.e. not a clockwatcher

willingness to work irregular hours
this is not a good answer but the main reason is that in ads in English you would see sentences e.g. Must be willing to work long ot irregular hours (including weekends???). Or you could say: must be prepared to work shifts (though that is not said here - I rather think it is more the clockwatching factor that is at stake)
