Is this role right for you?

Many clinicians find the role of a Functional Assessor rewarding, but it's also challenging at the same time and it's not the right fit for everyone.



This role would suit someone who:


Is open to a formalised programme of training to become a DWP approved Functional Assessor. Is receptive to ongoing constructive feedback, ensuring our claimants continually get the very best experience. Has confidence in their ability to use computers and in learning different software packages to complete detailed, high-quality reports for all claimants assessed. Thrives in a working environment that offers structure and the opportunity to use your clinical skills in a different way.




This role may not be the best match for you if:


You are not comfortable or are unfamiliar with technology. You dislike writing detailed reports. You prefer a more hands on approach to clinical care. You're not looking for a new direction in your clinical career or to embark on period of retraining into a new role. You don't enjoy working in an environment with targets. You are looking for a fully remote role.

What you'll be doing each day

Carry out a number of person-centred face to face, video & telephone functional assessments. Through the assessment process you will ask focused questions, use active listening and critical reasoning skills to gather accurate information. Produce high quality, structured clinical reports on all claimants you assess, for submission to the DWP. Review evidence, request and evaluate additional evidence when required and clinically triage cases to determine the correct assessment pathway. Work alongside other highly experienced clinical colleagues to ensure high-quality & fair assessments for all claimants.

Who We're Looking For
