56.5/ 100
1 How much of what a locker room attendant is expected to do is already part of a swimming facility 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 locker room attendant role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A locker room attendant role treats 3 of its required skills as things a swimming facility attendant already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- communicate with customers
- maintain cleaning equipment
- manage lost and found articles
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 · What you already bring
Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A locker room attendant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a swimming facility attendant background worth leading with.
- already held restock toilet facilities' supplies handling and moving
- already held clean toilet facilities handling and moving
- already held manage lost and found articles assisting and caring
- already held maintain cleaning equipment handling and moving
- already held manage emergency evacuation plans communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held communicate with customers communication, collaboration and creativity
All 6 carried skills, including the 3 the locker room attendant role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 15 missing skills fall into 5 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.
