53.5/ 100

1 Share of the social security inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the government planning inspector 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 security inspector role treats 6 of its required skills as things a government planning inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • audit techniques
  • conduct workplace audits
  • identify policy breach
  • inspect government policy compliance
  • present reports
  • write inspection reports

What stands in the way is 7 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 social security inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a government planning inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held identify policy breach management skills
  • already held inspect government policy compliance information skills
  • already held conduct workplace audits information skills
  • already held advise on conflict management communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held audit techniques business, administration and law
  • already held manage government policy implementation management skills

All 9 carried skills, including the 6 the social security inspector 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.
