52.7/ 100

1 Share of the emergency response coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the emergency response worker 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 emergency response coordinator role treats 4 of its required skills as things a emergency response worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • estimate damage
  • manage emergency evacuation plans
  • manage emergency procedures
  • perform risk analysis

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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A emergency response coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a emergency response worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held identify risk of flooding information skills
  • already held operational tactics for emergency responses health and welfare
  • already held estimate damage information skills
  • already held manage emergency evacuation plans communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage emergency procedures management skills
  • already held pollution legislation business, administration and law

All 9 carried skills, including the 4 the emergency response coordinator 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.
