Job Description
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). Their mission is simple yet powerful: ensuring every person feels genuinely listened to, respected and supported.

What You’ll Be Doin
gIn 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. Throughout every assessment, you will apply your professional judgement with empathy, impartiality and confidence. Full, comprehensive training will equip you to deliver assessments and reports to the highest standard
