This Summer, Bring More Balance to Your Healthcare Career
Looking for a fresh start this summer? Imagine a role where you can continue making a real difference to people's lives while enjoying a healthier work-life balance, structured hours, and the flexibility of a hybrid working model.
If you're a Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, or Paramedic, this could be the career move you've been waiting for.
Our client delivers fair, high-quality, and compassionate assessments for individuals applying for the Government's Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Their mission is simple yet powerful: ensuring every person feels heard, respected, and supported throughout their journey.
Whether you're looking to step away from long shifts, reduce the physical demands of frontline care, or simply enjoy more time for yourself, your family, and the things you love this summer, this rewarding opportunity allows you to continue using your clinical expertise in a meaningful new way.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Functional Assessor, you'll use your healthcare knowledge in a fresh and rewarding setting.
You'll conduct a mixture of:
- Telephone assessments
- Video assessments
- Face-to-face assessments
- Paper-based reviews
Your role will be to understand how an individual's health condition or disability impacts their day-to-day life and independence.
Working within a hybrid model, you'll spend some of your time working from home, attending your local assessment centre on scheduled days as required.
You'll produce detailed, evidence-based reports (typically 3,000–4,000 words) that support the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in their decision-making process. Every assessment gives you the opportunity to apply your clinical judgement with empathy, professionalism, and impartiality.
No previous assessment experience in functional assessing? No problem. Comprehensive training and ongoing support will set you up for success from day one.

We want you to feel confident and supported throughout your journey.
You'll benefit from:
- Structured training programme, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm
- Comprehensive preparation for assessments and report writing

- Performance and quality-based bonus scheme available after approval
- Clear and transparent career progression opportunities
