Fiscal affairs policy officer to housing policy officer
A fiscal affairs policy officer already meets 29% of what the housing policy officer role asks for. The move turns on 10 required skills not yet in the profile.
65.8/ 100
1 How much of what a housing policy officer is expected to do is already part of a fiscal affairs policy officer’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 housing policy officer role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A housing policy officer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a fiscal affairs policy officer already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- analyse legislation
- create solutions to problems
- government policy implementation
- manage government policy implementation
What stands in the way is 10 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A housing policy officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fiscal affairs policy officer background worth leading with.
- already held analyse legislation information skills
- already held European Structural and Investment Funds regulations business, administration and law
- already held government policy social sciences, journalism and information
- already held liaise with politicians communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held manage government policy implementation management skills
- already held government policy implementation social sciences, journalism and information
All 9 carried skills, including the 4 the housing policy officer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 21 missing skills fall into 6 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.
