Working mainly from home through a hybrid model, you&rsquo;ll attend your local assessment centre on scheduled days as required.</p>

<p>You&rsquo;ll produce detailed, evidence&#8209;based reports <b>&mdash; typically 3,000&ndash;4,000 words &mdash;</b> that support the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in their decision-making. Throughout every assessment, you will apply your professional judgement with empathy, impartiality and confidence.

	<li>A <b>right to work in the UK</b> without a need for sponsorship, or any restrictions</li>
	<li>Minimum <b>one year post&#8209;registration experience</b> as a nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or paramedic</li>
	<li><b>Full registration</b> with the NMC or HCPC with a valid, unrestricted PIN</li>

<p>Are you an experienced healthcare professional ready for a role that offers meaning, balance, and the chance to use your clinical skills in a new and rewarding way? If you&#39;re a <b>Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist or Paramedic</b>, this could be the next chapter you&rsquo;ve been waiting for.</p>

<p>Our client delivers fair, high&#8209;quality and compassionate assessments for individuals applying for the Government&rsquo;s <b>Personal Independence Payment (PIP)</b>. Their mission is simple yet powerful: ensuring every person feels genuinely listened to, respected and supported.</p>

<p>This role allows you to step away from shift work, reduce the physical demands of frontline care, and still make a significant impact &mdash; all within structured hours and a supportive, professional environment.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>What You&rsquo;ll Be Doing</u></b></p>

<p>In this role as a <b>Functional Assessor</b>, you will use your clinical expertise in a new, analytical context. You&rsquo;ll carry out <b>telephone, video, in&#8209;person and paper&#8209;based assessments</b> to understand how each individual&rsquo;s condition or disability affects their daily life. Working mainly from home through a hybrid model, you&rsquo;ll attend your local assessment centre on scheduled days as required.</p>

<p>You&rsquo;ll produce detailed, evidence&#8209;based reports <b>&mdash; typically 3,000&ndash;4,000 words &mdash;</b> that support the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in their decision-making. Throughout every assessment, you will apply your professional judgement with empathy, impartiality and confidence. Full, comprehensive training will equip you to deliver assessments and reports to the highest standard.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>Training &amp; Support</u></b></p>

<ul>
	<li>Structured training programme running <b>Monday to Friday, 9am&ndash;5pm</b></li>
	<li>Comprehensive preparation for assessments and report writing</li>
	<li>Dedicated mentor throughout your first six months</li>
	<li>Ongoing coaching, feedback and development support</li>
	<li>A supportive team environment designed to help you grow and succeed</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>Salary &amp; Benefits</u></b></p>

<ul>
	<li><b>Starting salary: &pound;39,500</b>, increasing to <b>&pound;40,500</b> upon DWP approval</li>
	<li><b>Bonus scheme</b> available after approval, based on performance and quality</li>
	<li>Clear, transparent <b>career progression pathways</b></li>
	<li>Significantly enhanced <b>work&ndash;life balance</b> compared with traditional clinical roles</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>What You&rsquo;ll Need</u></b></p>

<ul>
	<li>A <b>right to work in the UK</b> without a need for sponsorship, or any restrictions</li>
	<li>Minimum <b>one year post&#8209;registration experience</b> as a nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or paramedic</li>
	<li><b>Full registration</b> with the NMC or HCPC with a valid, unrestricted PIN</li>
	<li>Strong communication, listening and observational skills</li>
	<li>Ability to type <b>at least 32 words per minute</b></li>

Step Into a More Fulfilling Role as an Assessment Specialist</b></p>

<p>Are you a dedicated healthcare professional ready for something different &mdash; something that lets you use your clinical skills in a new, meaningful way?</p>

<p>If you&#39;re a Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, or Paramedic, this could be the perfect next step for you.</p>

<p>Our client delivers fair, thorough and compassionate assessments for individuals applying for the Government&rsquo;s Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Their focus is simple: helping people feel heard, understood and supported.</p>

<p>This role gives you the opportunity to use your expertise without shift work, bedside care, or the physical demands of your current role &mdash; all while making a real impact.</p>

<p><b>What You&rsquo;ll Be Doing</b></p>

<p>As a Functional Assessor, you&#39;ll:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Conduct telephone, video, in-person and paper-based assessments to understand how a claimant&rsquo;s condition impacts their daily life</li>
	<li>Work in a hybrid model &mdash; primarily from home, with scheduled days at your nearest assessment centre</li>
	<li>Produce clear, detailed 3,000&ndash;4,000&#8209;word reports to support decision making by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)</li>
	<li>Apply your clinical judgement with professionalism, empathy and impartiality</li>
</ul>

<p>You&rsquo;ll receive full training to help you deliver high&#8209;quality assessments and confident, evidence&#8209;based reports.</p>

<p><b>Training and Support</b></p>

<ul>
	<li>This role is different from traditional healthcare, which is why you&rsquo;ll receive a structured training programme (Monday to Friday, 9am&ndash;5pm).</li>
	<li>The first six months can be the steepest learning curve, so dedicated mentorship and ongoing support will be in place to help you succeed.</li>
</ul>

<p><b>Salary and Benefits</b></p>

<ul>
	<li>Starting salary: &pound;39,500 per year</li>
	<li>OTE up to &pound;43,450</li>
	<li>Clear development and progression pathways</li>
	<li>Hybrid working</li>
	<li>Improved work&ndash;life balance</li>
</ul>

<p><b>What You Need</b></p>

<p>To apply, you must have:</p>

<ul>
	<li>A minimum of one year post&#8209;registration experience as a nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist or paramedic</li>
	<li>Full registration with NMC, HCPC or equivalent, with a valid PIN and no restrictions</li>
	<li>Strong communication, listening and observational skills</li>
	<li>The ability to type at least 32 words per minute</li>
	<li>Confident IT skills, including Microsoft Office and remote systems such as MS Teams</li>
	<li>A compassionate, balanced and professional approach</li>
</ul>

<p>Are you an experienced healthcare professional ready for a role that offers meaning, balance, and the chance to use your clinical skills in a new and rewarding way? If you&#39;re a <b>Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist or Paramedic</b>, this could be the next chapter you&rsquo;ve been waiting for.</p>

<p>Our client delivers fair, high&#8209;quality and compassionate assessments for individuals applying for the Government&rsquo;s <b>Personal Independence Payment (PIP)</b>. Their mission is simple yet powerful: ensuring every person feels genuinely listened to, respected and supported.</p>

<p>This role allows you to step away from shift work, reduce the physical demands of frontline care, and still make a significant impact &mdash; all within structured hours and a supportive, professional environment.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>What You&rsquo;ll Be Doing</u></b></p>

<p>In this role as a <b>Functional Assessor</b>, you will use your clinical expertise in a new, analytical context. You&rsquo;ll carry out <b>telephone, video, in&#8209;person and paper&#8209;based assessments</b> to understand how each individual&rsquo;s condition or disability affects their daily life. Working mainly from home through a hybrid model, you&rsquo;ll attend your local assessment centre on scheduled days as required.</p>

<p>You&rsquo;ll produce detailed, evidence&#8209;based reports <b>&mdash; typically 3,000&ndash;4,000 words &mdash;</b> that support the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in their decision-making. Throughout every assessment, you will apply your professional judgement with empathy, impartiality and confidence. Full, comprehensive training will equip you to deliver assessments and reports to the highest standard.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>Training &amp; Support</u></b></p>

<ul>
	<li>Structured training programme running <b>Monday to Friday, 9am&ndash;5pm</b></li>
	<li>Comprehensive preparation for assessments and report writing</li>
	<li>Dedicated mentor throughout your first six months</li>
	<li>Ongoing coaching, feedback and development support</li>
	<li>A supportive team environment designed to help you grow and succeed</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>Salary &amp; Benefits</u></b></p>

<ul>
	<li><b>Starting salary: &pound;39,500</b>, increasing to <b>&pound;40,500</b> upon DWP approval</li>
	<li><b>Bonus scheme</b> available after approval, based on performance and quality</li>
	<li>Clear, transparent <b>career progression pathways</b></li>
	<li>Significantly enhanced <b>work&ndash;life balance</b> compared with traditional clinical roles</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>What You&rsquo;ll Need</u></b></p>

<ul>
	<li>A <b>right to work in the UK</b> without a need for sponsorship, or any restrictions</li>
	<li>Minimum <b>one year post&#8209;registration experience</b> as a nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or paramedic</li>
	<li><b>Full registration</b> with the NMC or HCPC with a valid, unrestricted PIN</li>
	<li>Strong communication, listening and observational skills</li>
	<li>Ability to type <b>at least 32 words per minute</b></li>
	<li>Confident IT skills, including <b>Microsoft Office</b> and remote tools such as <b>MS Teams</b></li>
	<li>A balanced, compassionate and professional approach to assessments</li>
</ul>

<p><b>Important Notice</b></p>

<p>UK clinical titles are legally protected. Applicants must hold valid professional registration <b>(e.g., NMC, GMC, HCPC).</b> It is a criminal offence to falsely claim to be a registered healthcare professional.</p>

<p>Are you an experienced healthcare professional ready for a role that offers meaning, balance, and the chance to use your clinical skills in a new and rewarding way? If you&#39;re a <b>Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist or Paramedic</b>, this could be the next chapter you&rsquo;ve been waiting for.</p>

<p>Our client delivers fair, high&#8209;quality and compassionate assessments for individuals applying for the Government&rsquo;s <b>Personal Independence Payment (PIP)</b>. Their mission is simple yet powerful: ensuring every person feels genuinely listened to, respected and supported.</p>

<p>This role allows you to step away from shift work, reduce the physical demands of frontline care, and still make a significant impact &mdash; all within structured hours and a supportive, professional environment.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>What You&rsquo;ll Be Doing</u></b></p>

<p>In this role as a <b>Functional Assessor</b>, you will use your clinical expertise in a new, analytical context. You&rsquo;ll carry out <b>telephone, video, in&#8209;person and paper&#8209;based assessments</b> to understand how each individual&rsquo;s condition or disability affects their daily life. Working mainly from home through a hybrid model, you&rsquo;ll attend your local assessment centre on scheduled days as required.</p>

<p>You&rsquo;ll produce detailed, evidence&#8209;based reports <b>&mdash; typically 3,000&ndash;4,000 words &mdash;</b> that support the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in their decision-making. Throughout every assessment, you will apply your professional judgement with empathy, impartiality and confidence. Full, comprehensive training will equip you to deliver assessments and reports to the highest standard.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>Training &amp; Support</u></b></p>

	<li>Structured training programme running <b>Monday to Friday, 9am&ndash;5pm</b></li>
	<li>Comprehensive preparation for assessments and report writing</li>
	<li>Dedicated mentor throughout your first six months</li>
	<li>Ongoing coaching, feedback and development support</li>
	<li>A supportive team environment designed to help you grow and succeed</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>Salary &amp; Benefits</u></b></p>

<ul>
	<li><b>Starting salary: &pound;39,500</b>, increasing to <b>&pound;40,500</b> upon DWP approval</li>
	<li><b>Bonus scheme</b> available after approval, based on performance and quality</li>
	<li>Clear, transparent <b>career progression pathways</b></li>
	<li>Significantly enhanced <b>work&ndash;life balance</b> compared with traditional clinical roles</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b><u>What You&rsquo;ll Need</u></b></p>

<ul>
	<li>A <b>right to work in the UK</b> without a need for sponsorship, or any restrictions</li>
	<li>Minimum <b>one year post&#8209;registration experience</b> as a nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or paramedic</li>
	<li><b>Full registration</b> with the NMC or HCPC with a valid, unrestricted PIN</li>
	<li>Strong communication, listening and observational skills</li>
	<li>Ability to type <b>at least 32 words per minute</b></li>
	<li>Confident IT skills, including <b>Microsoft Office</b> and remote tools such as <b>MS Teams</b></li>
	<li>A balanced, compassionate and professional approach to assessments</li>
</ul>

<p><b>Important Notice</b></p>

<p>UK clinical titles are legally protected. Applicants must hold valid professional registration <b>(e.g., NMC, GMC, HCPC).</b> It is a criminal offence to falsely claim to be a registered healthcare professional.</p>
