54.2/ 100

1 Share of the companion role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the nanny 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 companion role treats 7 of its required skills as things a nanny already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • clean rooms
  • clean surfaces
  • iron textiles
  • prepare ready-made dishes
  • prepare sandwiches
  • use cooking techniques

What stands in the way is 8 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A companion role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a nanny background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held buy groceries communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held prepare ready-made dishes assisting and caring
  • already held feed pets handling and moving
  • already held prepare sandwiches assisting and caring
  • already held use gardening equipment handling and moving
  • already held iron textiles handling and moving

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the companion role treats as required.

The 3 entries a companion role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
