It's never been a requirement to buy a return or onward ticket. You have a valid permit to enter the UK and that is all you will need.
People who, on arrival in the UK, are applying for visit entry clearance under UK immigration rules, sometimes consider it useful to have this as it may indicate an intention to leave but it really offers no guarantee that a person is going to do that.

You are 100% free to buy a one way ticket to the UK. And you can work the day you arrive, as your EEA FP indicates. And stay as long as you want (as long as your EU family member is exercising treaty rights after 90 days in the UK).
Have a very nice trip!
