Join Medacs Healthcare as a PIP Functional Assessor / Disability Assessor
Are you a UK‑registered Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD) or HCPC‑registered Paramedic, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist looking for a non‑clinical role with structure, stability and predictable working hours?
As a PIP Functional Assessor / Disability Assessor at Medacs Healthcare, you'll complete Personal Independence Payment (PIP) functional assessments to understand how long‑term health conditions affect daily living. This is a non‑hands‑on clinical role focused on clinical reasoning, analysis and detailed report writing, rather than treatment or ongoing patient care.
Once training is complete, the role is fully remote, offering a strong work-life balance while allowing you to continue using your clinical expertise in a meaningful way.
Please note: Whilst this role is remote, you will be required to attend your nearest assessment centre during induction and training stages 3-4.
What you'll do
1. Conduct telephone and video PIP assessments in a professional and empathetic manner
2. Review clinical records and medical evidence
3. Produce clear, accurate and evidence‑based written reports
4. Work to defined quality standards and clinical frameworks
5. Work independently while collaborating with colleagues across clinical and administrative teams
6. Participate in ongoing learning and development activities
7. Attend the assessment centre as required
What we're looking for
Essential:
8. Registered Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Physiotherapist, Paramedic or Occupational Therapist
9. Active NMC or HCPC registration with no restrictions
10. Minimum 1 year's UK clinical experience
11. Strong written and verbal communication skills
12. Confident use of digital systems (35 WPM typing speed)
13. Right to work in the UK (sponsorship not available)
14. Recent clinical experience across a variety of settings
15. Ability to multi-task and make objective, evidence-based decisions
Desirable:
16. Previous experience in functional assessment or clinical decision-making
17. Skilled in producing accurate, concise reports
What's on offer
18. Competitive salary with structured reviews and bonus potential
19. Remote working after training
20. £1000 Approval bonus (terms apply)
21. Structured hours - no evenings, weekends or bank holidays
22. 25 days' annual leave plus your birthday off
23. NMC/HCPC fee reimbursement after probation
24. Comprehensive training and ongoing clinical support
25. Clear progression routes and CPD opportunities
26. Pension, life assurance, EAP and lifestyle benefits
27. £2,500 referral bonus (terms apply)
You'll enjoy this role if you…
28. Prefer structured assessments and clear clinical frameworks
29. Feel confident using computers and learning new clinical systems
30. Enjoy writing detailed, high‑quality reports
31. Value routine, consistency and a balanced working pattern
32. Are open to constructive feedback and keen to learn and develop
This role might not be right for you if you…
33. Are looking to stay in hands‑on clinical care or fast‑paced, acute environments
34. Prefer minimal structure rather than clearly defined processes
35. Don't enjoy detailed report writing or written clinical work
36. Would find working mainly with digital systems frustrating
37. Would be uncomfortable with re‑training for a different type of clinical role, which includes a comprehensive, supported training programme
38. Would feel uncomfortable working in a role with targets and quality measures
