1 Share of the government planning inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the housing policy 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 government planning inspector role treats 5 of its required skills as things a housing policy officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on government policy compliance
  • government policy implementation
  • inspect government policy compliance
  • monitor policy proposals
  • scientific research methodology

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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A government planning inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a housing policy officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held monitor policy proposals information skills
  • already held inspect government policy compliance information skills
  • already held advise on government policy compliance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage government policy implementation management skills
  • already held government policy implementation social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held scientific research methodology education

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the government planning inspector 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.
