social work lecturertosocial work supervisor
A social work lecturer already meets 69% of what the social work supervisor role asks for. The move turns on 19 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 47.8 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the social work supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the social work lecturer 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.

Of the 44 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A social work supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a social work lecturer background worth leading with.

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.
