What does a Disability Assessor do?
PIP assessments - (looks at how a disability/health condition affects daily living and mobility)
WCA assessments - (looks at how a person's health condition/disability affects their functional ability in relation to work-related activities)

Your role will include:

• Conducting telephone and face-to-face assessments
• Reviewing medical evidence and health questionnaires
• Discussing how physical and mental health conditions affect daily activities
• Exploring functional ability through structured questioning
• Applying your clinical reasoning and critical-thinking skills
• Producing clear, accurate and objective reports
• Providing evidence-based recommendations following your assessments

Rather than providing hands-on treatment, you'll use your existing clinical knowledge, assessment skills and professional judgement to build an accurate picture of how someone's condition affects their everyday life.
It's a different way to use your clinical expertise, with more predictable working hours and without traditional shift patterns.

Never worked as a Disability Assessor before?
That's absolutely fine!
You don't need previous Disability Assessor experience.

You'll complete a fully paid 12-week training programme covering:

• Assessment techniques
• Functional assessment
• DWP guidance and requirements
• Report writing
• Role-specific systems and processes

You'll also receive ongoing support as you transition from your existing clinical role.

What you'll need
To be considered, you'll need:

• At least 12 months' recent post-registration clinical experience in a relevant adult setting
• Active NMC, HCPC or GPhC registration
• Strong communication and assessment skills
• Good clinical reasoning and decision-making skills
• Strong written communication and report-writing ability
• Good IT and typing skills
• The ability to work independently and manage your workload effectively

KEEP YOUR CLINICAL EXPERIENCE. LOSE THE SHIFTS.
