1 Share of the court administrator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the civil service administrative officer 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

Why this move works

A court administrator role treats 4 of its required skills as things a civil service administrative officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure compliance with policies
  • manage administrative systems
  • manage budgets
  • manage staff

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure compliance with policies management skills
  • already held manage administrative systems management skills
  • already held manage accounts management skills
  • already held budgetary principles business, administration and law
  • already held respond to enquiries assisting and caring
  • already held manage budgets management skills

All 8 carried skills, including the 4 the court administrator role treats as required.

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.
