1 Share of the social services manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rescue centre manager 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 social services manager role treats 52 of its required skills as things a rescue centre manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

accept own accountability
adhere to organisational guidelines
advocate for others
advocate for social service users
analyse community needs
apply decision making within social work

What stands in the way is 4 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 62 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A social services manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rescue centre manager background worth leading with.

already held manage budgets for social services programs management skills
already held influence policy makers on social service issues communication, collaboration and creativity

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.
