You can fight this i had to in my office I was 25 hours and they hired a 30 I got uplifted but it took alot of badgering the manager. If you have a union rep speak to them we didn't at the time

The 35 hour position should have been offered internally before it ever went to recruitment. Your manager should know that. Raise a grievance on the people app if need be.
