1 How much of what a lottery manager is expected to do is already part of a minister of religion’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 lottery manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A lottery manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a minister of religion already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • liaise with local authorities
  • manage budgets
  • manage fundraising activities
  • manage staff
  • manage volunteers
  • perform fundraising activities

What stands in the way is 21 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A lottery manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a minister of religion background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform fundraising activities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage volunteers management skills
  • already held manage fundraising activities management skills
  • already held set organisational policies management skills
  • already held keep task records information skills
  • already held liaise with local authorities communication, collaboration and creativity

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 30 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in.

Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
