As a Work Capability Assessor (WCA), you'll carry out functional assessments to understand how an individual's physical or mental health condition affects their ability to work. Using your clinical expertise, you'll gather information, review medical evidence and produce accurate, evidence-based reports to support the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
