Offer 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 youve been waiting for.

Our client delivers fair, high-quality and compassionate assessments for individuals applying for the Governments Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Their mission is simple yet powerful: ensuring every person feels genuinely listened to, respected and supported.

This role allows you to step away from shift work, reduce the physical demands of frontline care, and still make a significant impact all within structured hours and a supportive, professional environment.


What Youll Be Doing

In this role as a Functional Assessor, you will use your clinical expertise in a new, analytical context. Youll carry out telephone, video, in-person and paper-based assessments to understand how each individuals condition or disability affects their daily life. Working mainly from home through a hybrid model, youll attend your local assessment centre on scheduled days as required.

Youll produce detailed, evidence-based reports typically 3,0004,000 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.


Training & Support

* Structured training programme running Monday to Friday, 9am5pm
* Comprehensive preparation for assessments and report writing
* Dedicated mentor throughout your first six months
* Ongoing coaching, feedback and development support
* A supportive team environment designed to help you grow and succeed


Salary & Benefits

* Starting salary: £39,500, increasing to £40,500 upon DWP approval
* Bonus scheme available after approval, based on performance and quality
* Clear, transparent career progression pathways
* Significantly enhanced worklife balance compared with traditional clinical roles


What Youll Need

* A right to work in the UK without a need for sponsorship, or any restrictions
* Minimum one year post-registration experience as a nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or paramedic
* Full registration with the NMC or HCPC with a valid, unrestricted PIN
* Strong communication, listening and observational skills
* Ability to type at least 32 words per minute
* Confident IT skills, including Microsoft Office and remote tools such as MS Teams
* A balanced, compassionate and professional approach to assessments

Important Notice

UK clinical titles are legally protected. Applicants must hold valid professional registration (e.g., NMC, GMC, HCPC). It is a criminal offence to falsely claim to be a registered healthcare professional.

Please note, this is a full- time position only
