1 Share of the community health worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sexual violence counsellor 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 9 of its required skills as things a sexual violence counsellor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply quality standards in social services
  • assess social service users' situation
  • build helping relationship with social service users
  • communicate with social service users
  • deliver social services in diverse cultural communities
  • legal requirements in the social sector

What stands in the way is 5 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 11 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 sexual violence counsellor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held provide social counselling assisting and caring
  • already held build helping relationship with social service users communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held deliver social services in diverse cultural communities management skills
  • already held maintain records of work with service users information skills
  • already held manage social crisis assisting and caring
  • already held communicate with social service users communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 9 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.
