1 Share of the court administrator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the police commissioner 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A court administrator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a police commissioner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held ensure compliance with policies management skills
already held set organisational policies management skills
already held maintain operational communications communication, collaboration and creativity
already held undertake inspections information skills
already held train employees communication, collaboration and creativity
already held manage budgets management skills

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the court 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.
