1 Share of the juvenile correctional officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the street warden 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A juvenile correctional officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a street warden background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held comply with the principles of self-defence assisting and caring
already held legal use-of-force business, administration and law
already held patrol areas assisting and caring
already held ensure law application assisting and caring
already held practice vigilance assisting and caring

All 10 carried skills, including the 5 the juvenile correctional officer 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.
