53.8/ 100

1 Share of the physiotherapist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the advanced physiotherapist profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A physiotherapist role treats 61 of its required skills as things a advanced physiotherapist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • accept own accountability
  • adhere to health well-being and safety
  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • adjust physiotherapy interventions
  • advise on healthcare users' informed consent
  • advocate health

What stands in the way is 29 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 67 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A physiotherapist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a advanced physiotherapist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held adjust physiotherapy interventions assisting and caring
  • already held conduct physiotherapy assessment information skills
  • already held develop physiotherapy services management skills
  • already held develop strategic plans for physiotherapy services management skills
  • already held engage in physiotherapy research information skills
  • already held manage physiotherapy staff management skills

All 67 carried skills, including the 61 the physiotherapist role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 31 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
