16%
80.4/ 100
1 Share of the sport therapist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leisure attendant 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 this move works
A sport therapist role treats 3 of its required skills as things a leisure attendant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- analyse personal fitness information
- motivate fitness clients
- promote healthy fitness environment
What stands in the way is 17 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sport therapist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leisure attendant background worth leading with.
- already held motivate fitness clients management skills
- already held provide fitness information communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held analyse personal fitness information management skills
- already held promote healthy fitness environment communication, collaboration and creativity
All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the sport therapist role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 17 missing skills fall into 4 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a sport therapist role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 conduct fitness risk assessment skill · occupation specific
- 02 identify health objectives skill · occupation specific
- 03 prescribe exercises for controlled health conditions skill · occupation specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
