Join Medacs Healthcare as a PIP Functional Assessor / Disability Assessor
If you're an NMC‑registered Nurse or HCPC‑registered Paramedic, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist considering a move away from hands‑on clinical care, this role offers a structured alternative where your clinical judgement remains central.
Working as a PIP Functional Assessor, you'll evaluate how a person's health conditions impact their daily activities. This position focuses on professional assessment, evidence review and written clinical justification rather than treatment delivery. The hybrid model combines home working with attendance at an assessment centre, providing consistency, routine and improved work-life balance.
What you'll do
1. Conduct face‑to‑face and telephone PIP assessments in a professional and empathetic manner
2. Analyse medical evidence and clinical information
3. Produce accurate, detailed and evidence‑based written reports
4. Work to defined quality standards and clinical frameworks
5. Engage positively with feedback and development opportunities
6. Collaborate with clinical and administrative colleagues
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)
Desirable
14. Experience in functional assessment or advisory roles
15. Confidence in producing high‑quality written clinical reports
What's on offer
16. Competitive salary with structured pay progression and bonus potential
17. Approval bonus
18. Hybrid working arrangement
19. Structured hours - no evenings, weekends or bank holidays
20. 25 days' annual leave plus your birthday off
21. NMC/HCPC fee reimbursement after probation
22. Comprehensive training and ongoing clinical support
23. Clear progression routes and CPD opportunities
24. £2,500 referral bonus (terms apply)
You'll enjoy this role if you…
25. Prefer structured assessments and clear clinical frameworks
26. Feel confident using computers and learning new clinical systems
27. Enjoy writing detailed, high‑quality reports
28. Value routine, consistency and a balanced working pattern
29. Are keen to learn and develop and open to constructive feedback
This role might not be right for you if you…
30. Are looking to stay in hands‑on clinical care or fast‑paced, acute settings
31. Prefer minimal structure rather than clearly defined processes
32. Don't enjoy detailed report writing or written clinical work
33. Would find working mainly with digital systems frustrating
34. Would be uncomfortable with re‑training for a different type of clinical role, which includes a comprehensive, supported training programme
35. Would feel uncomfortable working in a role with targets and quality measures
