Building cleaner to locker room attendant
A building cleaner already meets 37% of what the locker room attendant role asks for. The move turns on 4 required skills not yet in the profile.
54.3/ 100
1 How much of what a locker room attendant is expected to do is already part of a building cleaner’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the locker room attendant role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A locker room attendant role treats 3 of its required skills as things a building cleaner already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- clean building floors
- follow organisational guidelines in the cleaning industry
- maintain cleaning equipment
What stands in the way is 4 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A locker room attendant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a building cleaner background worth leading with.
- already held follow organisational guidelines in the cleaning industry assisting and caring
- already held restock toilet facilities' supplies handling and moving
- already held clean building floors handling and moving
- already held clean toilet facilities handling and moving
- already held maintain cleaning equipment handling and moving
- already held cleaning industry health and safety measures services
All 7 carried skills, including the 3 the locker room attendant role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 14 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
