1 Share of the healthcare institution manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the healthcare 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 healthcare institution manager role treats 5 of its required skills as things a healthcare inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

advise policy makers in healthcare
health care legislation
health care system
healthcare administration
implement policy in healthcare practices

What stands in the way is 13 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A healthcare institution manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a healthcare inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held advise policy makers in healthcare communication, collaboration and creativity
already held implement policy in healthcare practices communication, collaboration and creativity
already held healthcare administration business, administration and law
already held medical studies health and welfare
already held health care system services
already held medical terminology health and welfare

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the healthcare institution manager 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.
