Is this role right for you?
Many clinicians find the role of a Functional Assessor rewarding, but it is also challenging and may not be for everyone. The role is ideal if you:
* Are open to a formalised programme of training to become a DWP approved Functional Assessor.
* Receptive to ongoing constructive feedback.
* Confident in using computers and learning new software packages.
* Thrive in a structured working environment that allows you to apply your clinical skills differently.
It may not be the best match if you:
* Are uncomfortable with technology.
* Dislike writing detailed reports.
* Prefer a more hands‑on approach to clinical care.
* Are not looking for a new direction in your clinical career or a retraining period.
* Do not enjoy working in an environment with targets.
* Are not looking for a role that requires on‑site work three days a week.
