1 Share of the social pedagogue role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the family planning 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 social pedagogue role treats 25 of its required skills as things a family planning counsellor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • accept own accountability
  • apply quality standards in social services
  • apply socially just working principles
  • assess social service users' situation
  • communicate professionally with colleagues in other fields
  • communicate with social service users

What stands in the way is 19 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 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A social pedagogue role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a family planning counsellor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held psychological theories social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held supervision of persons business, administration and law
  • already held counselling methods health and welfare
  • already held cooperate at inter-professional level communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held psychology social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held manage stress in the work place management skills

All 25 carried skills, including the 25 the social pedagogue 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.
