Love your clinical skills but ready for a better work-life balance? Swap the shifts for a regular Monday to Friday and get your evenings and weekends back.
Ready to take your clinical career in a new direction? As a PIP Disability Assessor, you can continue using your clinical expertise, assessment skills and professional judgement without the demands of traditional frontline healthcare or hands-on patient care.
We're recruiting healthcare professionals to carry out Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). You'll assess how health conditions and disabilities affect an individual's daily living and mobility, turning your findings into clear, objective reports that support DWP decision-making.
No previous Functional Assessor experience is required — you'll receive 12 weeks of fully paid training!
About the Role

- Apply your clinical knowledge, reasoning and professional judgement to the information gathered.
- Produce comprehensive, accurate and evidence-based assessment reports.
- Treat every individual with empathy, professionalism and strict confidentiality.
This is an assessment and report-writing role, not a hands-on clinical position. You'll use your existing skills in a new setting while helping ensure the impact of people's health conditions is properly understood.

- Salary: £40,000 increasing to £42,000 after 12 months

- Strong analytical skills, clinical reasoning and report-writing ability.
- Confidence using IT systems and working independently.
