Update from reed for me is TfL checking over my screening! I got offered the job early August so I know I’m a while away yet but it’s always nice to see progress! Good luck to all who are being offered October / November dates! Not at all jealous

When did they send the email for your reed checks? I got offered for NT csa1 mid August but haven’t received any emails for the reed checks yet. Do you think it’s taking longer for night tube csa to start their reed checks?

I was offered the conditional contract last October for Night Tube and I have just completed my Reed checks. So now waiting for occupational health.

I'm in the same boat as you. Passed sbi mid August but it took a month for me to receive onboarding docs. I was literally calling every week. Sent them last week & now waiting for Reed to contact me regarding screening.
However, when I spoke to recruitment last week, they said due to the cyber incident, they still haven't got access to their emails, so expect a delay.

Yep got my contact just now starting in a couple weeks. I’m finally happy I’m leaving my current role
Congratulations, & good luck! Hopefully we'll l be joining you soon

New LU staff generally aren’t subjected to the same level of vetting as Compliance/Enforcement officers.

Are you sure it’s the vetting and not a shortage of CPOS trainers that’s causing the long wait?

I suggest this conversation moves to the dedicated existing thread.

I say you start calling them asap just be on them to get you progressed quick. They will probably tell you the same message but the more I called I was able to get a spot a lot quicker

I’ve just called and they said they have dates for December and January. November training dates have gone.

Hopefully I should be getting a starting date then.

Just rang tonight and had the same conversation. Guess we’ve just got to be patient :). Good to hear that they’re moving through now though. Hopefully not too long now guys .

All my checks have been returned now waiting for a start date and medical but rung today and they said it would be a while because there is a backlog of people from jun-aug

I’m one of the people from those months. Those who got their offer in June are looking to have their start dates in December/January.

So for yourself, September offers will potentially be looking at April/May, based on the way it is looking now.

Hi guys! desperately in need of a friend right now, does anyone have any guidance of how to approach the SBI? I've failed it before and I came out of it feeling relatively confident at the time...only to be shot down. I understand how to approach a competency based interview but I just have yet to be able to crack the SBI and there isn't enough info out there, any help would be greatly appreciated
