1 Share of the community health worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the public housing manager 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 community health worker role treats 11 of its required skills as things a public housing manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply decision making within social work
  • apply quality standards in social services
  • assess social service users' situation
  • build community relations
  • build helping relationship with social service users
  • communicate with social service users

What stands in the way is 3 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A community health worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a public housing manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held build community relations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held apply decision making within social work management skills
  • already held review social service plan information skills
  • already held advocate for social service users communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held build helping relationship with social service users communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held deliver social services in diverse cultural communities management skills

All 14 carried skills, including the 11 the community health worker 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.
