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).

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.
