79%
20.5/ 100
1 Share of the laundry ironer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the laundry worker 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 this move works
A laundry ironer role treats 10 of its required skills as things a laundry worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- collect items for laundry service
- distinguish accessories
- distinguish fabrics
- handle linen in stock
- identify cloth items
- iron textiles
What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A laundry ironer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a laundry worker background worth leading with.
- already held operate dry cleaning pressing machines handling and moving
- already held identify cloth items handling and moving
- already held read care labels handling and moving
- already held follow up orders for customers assisting and caring
- already held sell services communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held collect items for laundry service handling and moving
All 15 carried skills, including the 10 the laundry ironer role treats as required.

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.
