About the Role

Ready to use your clinical experience differently — with your evenings and weekends back? We’re looking for a compassionate, detail-oriented Functional / Disability Assessor to join our team. You won’t be providing hands‑on treatment. Instead, you’ll use your clinical expertise to conduct structured assessments, evaluating how long‑term health conditions or disabilities affect a person’s daily life and mobility, and translating your findings into clear, objective reports that help determine eligibility for support and benefits.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough face‑to‑face, telephone, or video consultations with individuals living with a range of physical and mental health conditions
• Analyse medical evidence and apply clinical judgement to assess functional capacity
• Write comprehensive, objective, evidence‑based reports to a high professional standard
• Maintain empathy, professionalism, and strict confidentiality throughout every assessment

Salary & Guaranteed Pay Progression

PIP Pathway:

• Starting base salary: £40,000
• At 6 months (on approval): £43,000 — £1,000 six‑month uplift + £2,000 face‑to‑face assessor uplift
• At 12 months: £44,000 — additional £1,000 twelve‑month uplift

That’s up to £4,000 in guaranteed uplifts within your first year, on top of your starting salary.

Bonuses, Earnings & Skill Progression

• One-off approval bonus: 5%, paid on successful approval
• Annual performance bonus: up to 10%, paid quarterly (2.5% per quarter), subject to performance
• Overtime: paid at time and a half (1.5x) once approved
• Voluntary upskilling: once approved and meeting performance targets, train for further salary increases — Auditing (PIP & WCA): +£500 on approval

Key Benefits & Work-Life Balance

• Paid training: 12 weeks, fully paid
• Hybrid working: 50/50 model available after training
• Holiday: 25 days + bank holidays, with the option to buy more
• Pension: 6% employer contribution
• Wellbeing & perks: ShareSave scheme, a paid volunteering day, health helplines and apps, lifestyle discounts

What We’re Looking For

• Professional registration: active registration with NMC, HCPC, or GPhC as a Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, Paramedic, or Pharmacist.
• Adult clinical experience required — you’ll be working with individuals aged 16–65
• Clinical experience: minimum 1 year post‑qualification
• Skills: excellent communication and listening skills, strong analytical ability, confident IT skills, high report‑writing capability
• Right to work: full right to work in the UK required (sponsorship is not available)
