Full-time roles are available, and part-time applications may also be considered.
We are recruiting Registered Nurses (RGN, RMN and RNLD), Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists for permanent Functional Assessor opportunities in Salisbury, completing Work Capability Assessment (WCA) functional health assessments.
The role is also commonly known as a Nurse Assessor, Disability Assessor, Clinical Assessor or WCA Assessor.
You will complete structured assessments, review medical evidence and produce clear, evidence-based reports for the Department for Work and Pensions. This is an assessment and report-writing role rather than a hands-on clinical treatment position.
The role
You will explore how a physical or mental health condition affects a person’s functional capability for work or work-related activity.
Assessments may take place by telephone, online video appointment or face-to-face at the Salisbury assessment centre. You will gather accurate information through structured questioning, apply your clinical knowledge and professional judgement, and produce clear, concise and evidence-based reports.
An honest picture of the role
This is a report-writing role as much as an assessment role. A significant part of the working day involves gathering detailed information, using IT systems and producing structured written reports.
You will not provide treatment, make medical diagnoses, give medical advice or make the final decision on benefit entitlement.
Working pattern
This is a permanent hybrid role based between home and the Salisbury assessment centre at SP2 7RW.
The normal working pattern is Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with no nights, weekends or rotating shifts. Full-time roles are available, and part‑time applications may also be considered. The vacancy is not fully remote.
Training
You will complete a comprehensive, full‑time training programme before undertaking assessments independently.
Part‑time applicants must be available for the initial full‑time training period before moving to their agreed part‑time hours.
Salary
The salary is £42,000.
Support throughout your application
iGo Recruitment will check your eligibility, confirm the nearest available assessment centre and help you understand the Work Capability Assessment service and what the Functional Assessor role involves before you apply.
We will help you prepare professionally for each stage of the Serco interview process, keep you updated throughout your application and guide you through to offer and onboarding.
