Is this role right for you?
Many clinicians find the role rewarding, but it is also challenging and not the right fit for everyone. This role would suit someone who:
- Is open to a formalised programme of training to become a DWP approved Functional Assessor.
- Is receptive to ongoing constructive feedback, ensuring claimants continually get the very best experience.
- Has confidence in their ability to use computers and in learning different software packages to complete detailed, high-quality reports for all claimants assessed.
- Thrives in a working environment that offers structure and the opportunity to use clinical skills in a different way.
This role may not be the best match for you if:
- You are not comfortable or are unfamiliar with technology.
- You dislike writing detailed reports.
- You prefer a more hands-on approach to clinical care.
- You are not looking for a new direction in your clinical career or to embark on a period of retraining into a new role.
- You don’t enjoy working in an environment with targets.
- You are not looking for a role that requires you to work on site for 3 days a week.
If you feel this is the right role for you, we look forward to receiving your application.
