1 Share of the garden labourer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cemetery attendant 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 garden labourer role treats 6 of its required skills as things a cemetery attendant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • maintain plant health
  • maintain plant soil nutrition
  • maintain turf and grass
  • plant according to guidelines
  • prepare planting area
  • prune plants

What stands in the way is 19 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A garden labourer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cemetery attendant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plant according to guidelines assisting and caring
  • already held maintain turf and grass handling and moving
  • already held maintain plant soil nutrition handling and moving
  • already held prune plants handling and moving
  • already held maintain plant health handling and moving
  • already held prepare planting area handling and moving

All 6 carried skills, including the 6 the garden labourer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 44 missing skills fall into 8 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.
