What does the Disability Assessor role involve?
The Functional Assessor role will involve carrying out 3 to 5 client assessments per day. A typical day will see you conduct telephone, video or face‑to‑face assessments to understand how a person's disability or health condition affects their daily life. You will listen to their experiences, ask questions and use your insights to produce a factual report that helps the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine their eligibility for benefits. You do not make the final decision – you gather information and produce the report.
