About the role
As a Functional Assessor, your main task will be to assess individuals and how their disabilities or conditions affect their work life. Drawing on your clinical expertise, you'll listen carefully and take down each person's medical history before performing a physical examination. You'll then produce concise, accurate reports for the DWP so they can decide each person's eligibility for benefits.
The role involves meeting people face-to-face and via telephone/video. Whether online or in person, you'll be sensitive, compassionate, and able to ask the right questions while upholding best practice standards.
You'll have the time needed to make precise assessments and give each person your full attention. While working independently, you'll be part of a wider multidisciplinary team, with support available as part of the package.
Once you apply, our specialist sjb medical recruiters will support you through the virtual application process.
