54.1/ 100

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

  • clean glass surfaces
  • clean toilet facilities
  • maintain cleaning equipment
  • maintain inventory of cleaning supplies
  • perform cleaning duties
  • restock toilet facilities' supplies

What stands in the way is 6 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A toilet attendant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a domestic cleaner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held restock toilet facilities' supplies handling and moving
  • already held clean toilet facilities handling and moving
  • already held maintain inventory of cleaning supplies information skills
  • already held clean glass surfaces handling and moving
  • already held maintain cleaning equipment handling and moving
  • already held perform cleaning duties handling and moving

All 7 carried skills, including the 6 the toilet attendant role treats as required.

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.
