As these are fairly new roles,I've asked these questions & nobody really knows. Training for most other roles is done at Basingstoke from 9.30- 4 roughly. I would assume this would be the case for Ambassador role also. 1600322007 I have always emailed swr & normally got a reply within a day.

Sorry to hear that pete. Unfortunately as said above there are many,many applicants for any job not just railway jobs in the current climate. Keep going and never give up.

Research swr history,as they will ask you. Research more about the role.

Hi,has anyone had an interview for Ambassador recently(last year before covid etc).Does the hiring manager ask the usual sort of questions etc. Tell me how you work alone or in a team,what you've done well recently sort of thing.

I did do a maths test at my commercial guard assessment centre day but that was last October.Things may have changed since then and during the current climate.

The role has closed already. 1598301716 1598303308 The ambassador 3 role was/is still live as dates for interviews have gone out. Has anyone else had an interview for Ambassador recently(last year or so before covid). Does the hiring manager ask the usual sort of questions.

I see that a different role of Customer Ambassador 2 is live now with different hours & pay grade. Earlies & lates & rotating day off. Does anyone know if the original job has been scrapped for this role. At least there may be more job opportunities there now.

I think they mean driving a car stigy.

My friend is also in the waiting game with you. I suppose in the current climate it could be a week or 6 months before anybody hears anything. Do you live locally to Yeovil or will relocate if successful ?.

Which depot has your friend applied for ?. They will not be expected to learn everything straight away. Like has been posted above,learn the basics first:sstations in order,accessibility for disabled persons etc.

Are you training at Basingstoke at the moment ?. Which station will you be based at please. All the best in your training.

That's what I read into it aswell. Obviously the customer ambassador role at Yeovil Junction is only 1 position so like you in your trainee train driver role it's just a waiting & hoping game now for everyone who 'passed' the online stuff.

Bumping this thread up again. A friend of mine applied the same evening as me for this role & has done 3- 4 on line assessments for the role. The last one was done on Thursday evening,then an email was received saying that they had passed all the assessments. It also said that they endever to...

In a nutshell:; be on time every shift,have good customer service skills,be flexible,learn how to dispatch trains safely,can work alone or in a team & can read & write.

£24-26,000 I would have thought.
