Are the salaries of DSMs placed on a scale according to group size/years of experience?

They are part of a banding, I think (without checking up) it is £41-48k
Staff start at the bottom of the pay band or if they currently earn more than the basic it is about their current salary plus 2.5%, but not exceeding the top of the band.
So someone who has been a DSM for 5 years could still be near the bottom of the band, yet someone new to the grade could come in above them!
They also get PRP, which is decided by their employing manager, in this case GSM.
Eventually they can make their way up the band.

Thank you for such a fast reply! Yes, it makes sense. Are most DSMs promoted through the ranks or do they mostly come from other lines of employment/other companies etc?

Most campaigns are out out as Duty Manager, either trains or stations and is advertised internally to all TfL modes employed staff and every now and then externally. I think DSM is an option through the graduate scheme. |

The operational apprenticeship scheme is much better (al be it in the long run) for those who would like to take the Duty Manager role. |

The operational apprenticeship scheme is much better (al be it in the long run) for those who would like to take the Duty Manager role. An interesting observation. Most LUL graduate trainees undertake Duty Manager training regardless of whether or not they wish to pursue that route. Likewise, nearly all spend some time as Station Supervisor at a major station. There seem to be two sorts of G/T. The better ones are more oriented towards the operational side of things and make an effort to get as much operational experience as possible - e.g. S/S, Train Operator, positions in service control, DMT, et cetera. Meanwhile there are others who retreat to the comfort of Strategy & Service Development as soon as they can. |

They are quite capable of doing their jobs, however due to the lack of oeprational experience, it does tend to hinder them in certain circumstances. |
