health and safety inspectortosocial security inspector
A health and safety inspector already meets 61% of what the social security inspector role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 36.8 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the social security inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the health and safety inspector 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A social security inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a health and safety inspector background worth leading with.

- already held identify policy breach management skills
- already held inspect government policy compliance information skills
- already held conduct workplace audits information skills
- already held gather feedback from employees information skills
- already held advise on conflict management communication, collaboration and creativity

Table 4 · Where to start

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.
