Yes, and it is a moderate move. An elderly home manager already covers 78% of what a rescue centre manager is expected to do: 64 skills carry over, 61 of which the rescue centre manager role treats as required.

12 required skills are missing, plus 16 optional ones. They fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by management skills. The single most important is corporate social responsibility.

Its learning distance is 41.2 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
