1 Share of the vehicle cleaner role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the vehicle maintenance supervisor 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 vehicle cleaner role treats 4 of its required skills as things a vehicle maintenance supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • car controls
  • follow procedures to control substances hazardous to health
  • maintain work area cleanliness
  • types of vehicles

What stands in the way is 11 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A vehicle cleaner role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vehicle maintenance supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held car controls services
  • already held types of vehicles engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held follow procedures to control substances hazardous to health handling and moving
  • already held maintain work area cleanliness handling and moving
  • already held drive vehicles working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held teamwork principles generic programmes and qualifications

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the vehicle cleaner 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.
