assistant lecturertohigher education lecturer
A assistant lecturer already meets 79% of what the higher education lecturer role asks for. The move turns on 1 required skill not yet in the profile.
79%
30.2/ 100
1 Share of the higher education lecturer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the assistant lecturer 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 this move works
A higher education lecturer role treats 24 of its required skills as things a assistant lecturer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply blended learning
- apply teaching strategies
- assess students
- assessment processes
- assist students in their learning
- communicate with a non-scientific audience
What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 53 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A higher education lecturer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a assistant lecturer background worth leading with.
- already held research design generic programmes and qualifications
- already held assist students with their dissertation communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held university procedures business, administration and law
- already held liaise with educational staff communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held develop course outline management skills
- already held liaise with educational support staff communication, collaboration and creativity
All 53 carried skills, including the 24 the higher education lecturer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 24 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
