About the Role
Minerva, in partnership with our global client specialising in health and disability assessments, is seeking GMC-registered Medical Practitioners to join their expanding team.
This is an excellent opportunity for doctors who wish to use their clinical expertise in a new and rewarding setting, while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. If you’re looking for a career move outside of the NHS — where you can continue developing your medical knowledge, enjoy structured hours, and explore professional growth — this could be the perfect role for you.
As a Functional Assessor, you will:
* Conduct assessments via telephone, video consultations to understand how a person’s health condition or disability affects their daily life.
* Use your clinical judgement and communication skills to evaluate the impact of various conditions.
* Produce factual, evidence-based medical reports that help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine eligibility for disability benefits.
* Complete assessments typically lasting around 45 minutes, with comprehensive training and ongoing support provided to ensure your success.
What We’re Looking For
* GMC-registered Doctor with a minimum of 2 years’ post-registration experience (FY2 or above).
* Strong communication and report-writing skills.
* Ability to work towards individual and team goals within a supportive environment.
* Broad medical knowledge, with experience managing a range of physical and mental health conditions.
What’s on Offer
* Competitive Salary – £72,000 per annum
* 31 days annual leave (including Bank Holidays)
* GMC fee reimbursement & CPD support
* Private medical insurance & life assurance
* Enhanced maternity and paternity packages
* Flexible working – full-time, part-time, hybrid working
* Comprehensive clinical training and ongoing professional development
* Career progression opportunities across multiple clinical pathways
* Revalidation support with GMC fees reimbursed
* Company pension
* Inclusive, supportive work culture – recognised Disability Confident Leader
* Cycle to Work scheme, pension plan, wellbeing initiatives, and more
Schedule
* Monday to Friday, 37.5hrs per week
* No weekends, nights, or on-call commitments
* Genuine work-life balance
