Yes, and it is a moderate move. A youth centre manager already covers 79% of what an elderly home manager is expected to do: 65 skills carry over, 56 of which the elderly home manager role treats as required.

9 required skills are missing, plus 19 optional ones. They fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by business, administration and law. The single most important is company policies.

Its learning distance is 39 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
