1 Share of the judge role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the court enforcement 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 judge role treats 5 of its required skills as things a court enforcement officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • civil law
  • civil process order
  • court procedures
  • legal terminology
  • observe confidentiality

What stands in the way is 6 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A judge role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a court enforcement officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held authenticate documents assisting and caring
  • already held ensure sentence execution communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held civil process order business, administration and law
  • already held civil law business, administration and law
  • already held legal terminology business, administration and law
  • already held compile legal documents information skills

All 10 carried skills, including the 5 the judge role treats as required.

10 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
