London Underground - CSA1 & CSA2 (2022 & 2023 intake)

[eastldn12]

Hello all,

I have my data interpretation and written communication test assessment tomorrow. I have applied for CSA 2.

Could anyone help me with kind of questions that I can expect? Does it need a thorough preparation?

Any information would be helpful.

How did it go?

 

[moonie95]

I applied roughly 2 weeks ago, got the conditional job offer a couple days ago, currently waiting on my basic dbs check to progress

When did you do the interview?

The SBI is you answer the questions giving an example of a scenario you faced, following the competency framework document they provided. Also when answering the question it’s best to follow the STAR structure. I’ll pm you some more details.

When did you do the interview?

I did a few tests online after applying, then I got brought in to do 2 written exams at the office in west kensington, 2 days later (i think the 5th?) I got called in for a roleplay and a scenario based interview, (you had to pass the roleplay stage to sit the SBI) and i think it was like 3 days after that I got the conditional job offer. Hope that helps, feel free to message me more questions, but I cant tell you what was in my roleplay or scenario interview

Time management is important,Make sure to you go through tube maps and how to read maps.Ticket checking is easy.You just have to check its validity

Thanks for this tip.

If you have problems scheduling an appointment at the teat centre, try again between 11 am and 12 noon
I just did mine

So I received an email to book an appointment last week for the final stage, however every time I go on the link, there are no slots, I'm a bit worried now since I been checking daily and still nothing. There was no telephone number to ring them up to check what's going on, plus can't email them back as it's a no-reply email.

Anyone know who I could contact. Any info is appreciated

They post new dates between 11am and 12 noon everyday. Just check around 11:05

FYI today London Underground offered a new pay deal for staff.

If accepted, CSA2 will be £33,300 per year (a 9.6% pay rise) and CSA1 will be £42,091 (an 8.1% pay rise).

Thank you, I'll keep checking then. I was just worried maybe the time for booking slots ran out

 

[eastldn12]

Got a phone call to get my training booked today, booked for 3rd march, the training is now 4 weeks long and is paid. You'll get your oyster and uniform the first day of training. (Provided you get through all the background checks)

 

[CJSull]

Hi I'm currently in the recruitment process for a CSA position with TFL Underground service and would like some insight into the means people use to get to and from work.

I live in Romford at the moment and the job listing requires me to be able to travel to stations around the network before station open (04:30am) and finish after station close (01:30am).

How easy would it be to travel to stations on the underground using bus services? I don't drive. I'm also aware they utilise private taxis and train lines for staff? Anyone have any insight?

I'm trying to figure out what my options are.

Thank you.

Congratulations. What contract did you sign? Friday and Saturday night, or weeks evening 4 hours shift?

There are staff taxis for dead earlies and dead lates. They are black cabs, but run like a bus service on a fixed route picking up and dropping off at fixed places (usually stations). You book them via your supervisor each day.

It will be difficult to work out what your options are until you know what station group you've been assigned to.

No contract yet, they said it won’t be sent until after the dbs check

Is it possible reschedule the appointment you get for role play and interview

 

[LadyTee]

FYI today London Underground offered a new pay deal for staff.

If accepted, CSA2 will be £33,300 per year (a 9.6% pay rise) and CSA1 will be £42,091 (an 8.1% pay rise).

Will I be entitled to this pay rise if I start the first week of April or do I have to start before?

 

[bluegoblin7]

This will be the new salary effective 1 April 2023 if the deal is accepted. It will apply to all staff, irrespective of start date.

If you start before implementation (likely in May) you will receive the relevant back pay, pro rata as necessary.

Negotiations for the 2024 pay deal (effective 1 April 2024) begin in the next few weeks - again, this will be applied retrospectively to your start date once agreed.

Yes it is
Check the link they sent

For those looking for the Scenario Based Interview Guide (Saw there was a few on here when the link was not working), they have now fixed on Taleo (The Recruitment Portal)

Contacted them last week and they have now fixed the link on all applications to this document. You will need to sign back into Taleo to fetch it, any previous emails to the guide link to the old site and will not work.

That's interesting as they appear to have moved away from the STAR approach of questioning. I think that approach was recommended in this thread very recently.

Hi,

Anyone had their data interpretation assessment last Friday? Please any feedback yet? Thanks.

 

[Arie_]

Hi
Can I message you

 

[moonie95]

[Arie_]

Hello everyone
I just got mail today that I’m successfully to schedule appointment for the next stage…what should I be expecting,as anyone gone for a stage 3 recently

 

[coffeetable]

I haven't decided yet.Still contemplating.

Did you confirm your employment? Have you taken up the contract or started your training?

 

[San.]

So I been trying to schedule an appointment for the roleplay and interview stage, and today when I was using the link for the scheduling centre it says closed invitation. Just wondering if that means I failed to book a slot on time? Anyone know
