1 Share of the deputy head teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the educational counsellor 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 deputy head teacher role treats 6 of its required skills as things a educational counsellor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist in the organisation of school events
  • communicate with youth
  • cooperate with education professionals
  • education law
  • guarantee students' safety
  • monitor educational developments

What stands in the way is 11 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A deputy head teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a educational counsellor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held primary school procedures education
  • already held education law business, administration and law
  • already held monitor student's behaviour management skills
  • already held cooperate with education professionals communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain relations with children's parents communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held communicate with youth communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 6 the deputy head teacher role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 33 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
