42%
62.5/ 100
1 Share of the activity leader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the assistant outdoor animator 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 this move works
A activity leader role treats 11 of its required skills as things a assistant outdoor animator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- animate in the outdoors
- assess risk in the outdoors
- communicate in an outdoor setting
- evaluate outdoor activities
- give feedback on changing circumstances
- implement risk management for outdoors
What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A activity leader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a assistant outdoor animator background worth leading with.
- already held assess risk in the outdoors information skills
- already held give feedback on changing circumstances communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held react acordingly to unexpected events outdoors communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held empathise with outdoor groups management skills
- already held research areas for outdoor activity information skills
- already held evaluate outdoor activities information skills
All 14 carried skills, including the 11 the activity leader role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a activity leader role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 organise camp activities skill · occupation specific
- 02 plan youth activities skill · sector specific
- 03 apply organisational techniques skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
