1 Share of the door supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the police officer 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A door supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a police officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held control crowd assisting and caring
already held illegal substances services
already held comply with the principles of self-defence assisting and caring
already held detain offenders assisting and caring
already held restrain individuals assisting and caring
already held patrol areas assisting and caring

All 11 carried skills, including the 8 the door supervisor 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.
