Are you ready to apply your clinical knowledge in a new way—without the physical toll of traditional patient care? As a
Functional Assessor, you'll join a skilled team conducting impartial
assessments to assist claimants in receiving
Personal Independent Payment (PIP) benefits.
This role lets you
evaluate conditions, assess impact on daily life, and write detailed reports to support
DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) decisions. You’ll enhance your analytical skills while making a tangible difference—
without long shifts, weekend work, or hands-on patient care.
What We Offer:

- Hybrid working—blend remote and office-based assessments for flexibility
- Competitive salary plus extensive benefits package
- Fully funded training—including classroom-based, practical learning & mentorship
- Professional development—all CPD provided, with ongoing guidance
Your Role:
- Conduct three assessments per day, combining telephone and face-to-face evaluations
- Review medical conditions and analyse their impact on daily life
- Write detailed 3,000–4,000-word reports with supporting clinical evidence
- Enhance your knowledge of diverse health conditions, including mental health, physical impairments, and learning disabilities
- Participate in training and CPD sessions for continuous growth
Who We Need:
- At least one year post-qualification experience (Nurse, Paramedic, Physiotherapist, or Occupational Therapist)
- Registered with NMC or HCPC (valid PIN, no restrictions)
- Compassionate and empathetic approach to patient assessments
- Strong time management skills—able to work to targets while ensuring high-quality reports
- Good computer literacy—comfortable with typing and digital assessments
