1 Share of the special educational needs assistant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the Steiner school teacher 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 special educational needs assistant role treats 17 of its required skills as things a Steiner school teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assess the development of youth
  • assist children in developing personal skills
  • assist students in their learning
  • assist students with equipment
  • attend to children's basic physical needs
  • encourage students to acknowledge their achievements

What stands in the way is 6 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 32 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A special educational needs assistant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a Steiner school teacher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held organise creative performance management skills

  • already held assist children in developing personal skills assisting and caring
  • already held attend to children's basic physical needs assisting and caring
  • already held implement care programmes for children assisting and caring
  • already held workplace sanitation services

All 32 carried skills, including the 17 the special educational needs assistant 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.
