tutortosecondary school teaching assistant
A tutor already meets 48% of what the secondary school teaching assistant role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 55.1 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the secondary school teaching assistant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tutor 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 · What you already bring
Of the 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A secondary school teaching assistant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tutor background worth leading with.

- already held consult student's support system communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held maintain relations with children's parents communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held perform playground surveillance assisting and caring

All 21 carried skills, including the 10 the secondary school teaching assistant role treats as required.

3 further areas in the appendix
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a secondary school teaching assistant role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 teach secondary education class content skill · sector specific
- 02 compile course material skill · cross sector
- 03 handle children's problems skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
