1 How much of what a toilet attendant is expected to do is already part of a spa attendant’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 toilet attendant role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A toilet attendant role treats 4 of its required skills as things a spa attendant already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

maintain cleaning equipment
maintain customer service
personal protective equipment
restock toilet facilities' supplies

What stands in the way is 8 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A toilet attendant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a spa attendant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held restock toilet facilities' supplies handling and moving
already held maintain cleaning equipment handling and moving
already held personal protective equipment services
already held greet guests assisting and caring
already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity

All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the toilet attendant role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 17 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. 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.
