1 Share of the grants administrator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the grants management officer 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 grants administrator role treats 3 of its required skills as things a grants management officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on grants application
  • financial management
  • grant concessions

What stands in the way is 5 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A grants administrator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a grants management officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held advise on grants application communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held grant concessions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held advise on eligibility of expenditures communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assess administrative burden information skills
  • already held study topics information skills
  • already held check official documents assisting and caring

All 17 carried skills, including the 3 the grants administrator 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.
