What SBI did you have?

I just called them and what you said is correct, thank you. However, I have 2 periods of unemployment and apparently, they want my bank statements during those times and an answer to "How were you supporting yourself?". So I'll send them the bank statements and just tell them that I was 18 being supported by my parents during periods of unemployment?

Sorry to hear that. You got quite far to be honest, apply again when if and when the have more vacancies. I felt quite dejected after my SBI, to be honest. I felt I covered everything, but it just felt disjointed and all over the place. I had to stop, gather myself and carry on. But I made that clear to the assessor. I was quite chatty, but not in a meaningless way, before and after, in all my interactions. Maybe that's what swung it for me.
Best of luck in the future.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know what is SRT. Also, what stations does Northeast over establishment come under?.

Was conditional offer a verbal one? If so read back previous pages, TfL onboarding team will contact you with forms to fill out etc. Then the reed application will start.

SRT- may mean start time, depends what context it is in.

I just found out SRT means Special Requirement Teams at LU. But I need some information about the terms and conditions of that contract, such as what type of job role it is.

SRT is a special unit with CSAs that move around the network wherever there is the greatest need - for example at Wembley for concerts, or Excel for conferences, or really anywhere that a station's existing staff won't cope with temporarily increased passenger numbers. If there's nothing special going on, they help out at busy stations.
I don't believe newly qualified CSAs get allocated to SRT from training, but may be wrong.
They do, well I certainly did when I joined 10 years ago as a CSA.
@coffeetable there's no different contract, still the same CSA1 as everyone else, just instead of being based on an area/group you work all around the network. It's a good thing, you will meet many more people, and learn a lot more than if you were just at 1 station, which will help you for future promotions, certainly helped me.
Good to know!
Hi @lolak
You should chase up the written conditional offer with the onboarding team. Although they do have a backlog. But best to chase up to make sure they are on top of your case
Contact number for onboarding team: 0203 005 1680. Have you applied for full time or night tube or part time? Because I am told the process timelines are different for all of those.
Oh almost a month, do chase up with them, call them first thing tomorrow and mention you had the verbal offer and have got no paper work. Same thing happened to me.

Northeast over establishment means that you’ll primarily work all stations on the north east part of the Tube, and zone 1, and that you’re ’over and above the required quota of staff’ for that area. Most new staff will be OE wherever they end up. It does have some impact on your roster as you won’t necessarily work ‘fixed’ shifts (although that isn’t generally the case for SRT anyway), but generally is nothing to worry about.
SRT doesn’t suit everyone and if you’re not sure about working potentially at different parts of the network every day then you would probably want to look to swap - but a lot of people do want SRT, and, as mentioned, it’s an excellent way to network and to get a lot of experience very quickly. Generally you’ll be doing specific special event or ‘project’ duties but there is a little bit more flexibility with SRT than there used to be.
Hi @SunSeeker ,
If you are happy to share with us . Could you tell us little bit in detail about how the experience has helped you with promotions as you have mentioned in above post.

Thank you all
@Mawkie - I suppose they have assigned me to Northeast area, so, would be travelling to the stations in that area.
@SunSeeker - Initially they assigned me one of the Zone 1 stations and shadowed for a week, but due to some OH issues I was given SRT.
@bluegoblin7 - My contract is only 4 hours per day evenings part-time CSA1 SRT. If I work at different parts of the network everyday, say I work 2 days in one station and the next two days in another station, do you think they spend time with to familiarise me every single station I'm deployed to? It almost takes minimum of 30-45 mins.

Yes, you'll have to do familiarisations for each station you work at - this is paid so it's entirely conceivable that you will spend most of a duty familiarising. For north east I suspect this will be focussed initially on stations like Finsbury Park, Stratford, North Greenwich etc in addition to zone 1, where there are often big events happening. It can easily take a good couple of hours to properly familiarise at some of the bigger stations.

Thanks @bluegoblin7 . I will update you after a week of SRT.
I was given a piece of paper at my AC2 which contained my conditional offer, as soon as I received my conditional offer email I sent everything they had requested ie uniform order. Since then I haven’t heard back from them apart from being asked about my notice period.
Night tube, so I’m not the highest priority. I’ll give them a call in the morning just to ensure see what’s going on considering there is a backlog.
I have a concern please. My reed screening completed on the 13th August, I was reading through the forum now and can see a lot of people have gotten medical invitations since then, I haven’t received any call neither have I received emails. Do you reckon calling high volume or just leave them till they reach out.
After your there for night only. Will it be easy for you to go to full time?
Or you’ll be assessed again. Internal staff will get it easily right!
I got my conditional offer (i think everyone gets that) as it is based on references/checks.
I got called for my medical and now waiting for a start date.
Yep after you pass probation

Currently people offered the job in June are being given November training dates so I’m using that as a reference. I got offered the job beginning of August so I think I have a few months to go yet!

Will these dots change to ticks when they’re complete? Just confused as I’ve had an email to say my ETW is complete / confirmed but this hasn’t changed

If anyone has done the role play and SBI recently, could you please let me know what the role play scenario is and what SBI scenario is. I would really appreciate it.
Hi guys my reed screening is complete all the boxes are ticked and I called the onboarding team asking when I could get booked for a medical date , the lady said it could take up to 6 months as they are giving priority to people who got the job before me . Surely it will be sooner than 6 months right ? Anyone in the same boat ?
