Elevate your healthcare career! Are you an experienced healthcare professional ready for a role that offers meaning, balance, and the chance to use your clinical skills in a new and rewarding way? If you're a Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist or Paramedic, this could be the next chapter you've been waiting for.
Our client delivers fair, high-quality and compassionate assessments for individuals applying for the Government's Personal Independence Payment (PIP). This role allows you to step away from shift work, reduce the physical demands of frontline care, and still make a significant impact all within structured hours and a supportive, professional environment.
In this role as a Functional Assessor, you will use your clinical expertise in a new, analytical context. You'll carry out telephone, video, in-person and paper-based assessments to understand how each individual's condition or disability affects their daily life. Working mainly from home through a hybrid model, you'll attend your local assessment centre on scheduled days as required.
You’ll produce detailed, evidence-based reports typically 3,000-4,000 words that support the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in their decision-making. Full, comprehensive training will equip you to deliver assessments and reports to the highest standard.
Training & Support- Structured training programme running Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm
- Comprehensive preparation for assessments and report writing
- Ongoing coaching, feedback and development support
- A supportive team environment designed to help you grow and succeed
- Bonus scheme available after approval, based on performance and quality
