Join to apply for the Functional Assessor role at Yash Computech Solution Pvt. Ltd.
Discover a new kind of career in healthcare as a functional specialist
Are you working in healthcare and looking for a change? If you're a nurse (RGN, RMN, or RNLD), occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or paramedic, you could use your skills differently as an Assessment Specialist.
Our client provides unbiased, comprehensive assessments for claimants of the Government's disability allowance (Personal Independence Payment), conducted over the phone, via video call, or in person at assessment centres or claimants' homes. We seek individuals with compassion and experience to understand our claimants' health conditions/disabilities and their impact on daily life. Great computer skills, impartiality, and strong time management are essential.
Day to Day
You will conduct initial reviews, paper-based, face-to-face, video, or telephone assessments to evaluate how a claimant's health condition or disability affects their daily life.
Our client's hybrid model means you'll be based at home and assigned to work from your nearest assessment centre on a rota basis for face-to-face assessments. You will also spend time in centres or offices for team meetings or training.
You will observe and report on individuals' ability to perform activities, analyzing clinical information and supporting evidence. You will produce three detailed reports daily, each between 3,000-4,000 words, providing evidence and justification to support DWP decision-making.
Our Offer
This challenging role is quite different from other healthcare professions, and our client values your training and development. You will start with a 12-week training program (Monday to Friday, 9 am-5 pm), including time for self-development. Alternative training options of 3 or 4 days are available.
The first six months may be demanding, but support and mentorship are provided. Starting salary is £38,500 per year (pro-rata for part-time) plus a 5% retention bonus. Upon achieving remote-approved status, salary increases to £39,900 plus up to 10% bonus. After completing face-to-face delivery, salary increases further to £41,500 plus up to 10% bonus.
