Registered Nurse – Functional Assessor (Hybrid: 2/3 Days WFH)
This role is strictly for qualified nurses who are registered with the NMC (RGN / RMN / RNLD). Our role-specific training does not replace the requirement for a recognised nursing qualification.
This position would suit Registered Nurses who prefer structured, steady work and value a consistent Monday–Friday pattern. The role is largely desk-based and involves focused assessment and report writing. It’s still hard work and requires concentration and clinical judgement — if you don’t want to spend all your time at a desk, this probably isn’t the right move.
But if you’re ready for a more balanced routine, this role offers predictable hours, rewarding work and the flexibility of 2/3 days per week at home. It’s a chance to use your clinical knowledge in a different way, without the pressures of hands-on care or a roulette shift pattern.
Whilst the role is professionally challenging, it is supported by comprehensive training designed to develop your clinical expertise and progress your career.
You’ll learn to conduct 6 clinical assessments per day and produce evidence-based Work Capability Assessment (WCA) reports on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to help determine eligibility for benefits.
What you’ll be doing:
- Conducting phone, video, or face-to-face assessments and produce detailed reports. These reports will directly impact benefit decisions, so they must be thorough, accurate and well-evidenced
- Working independently to support vulnerable customers
- You will be expected to work within defined performance targets and should be comfortable operating in a target-driven environment
What’s not involved:
- No hands-on care
- No nights, weekends or long shifts
What you’ll need:
- NMC registration (RGN / RMN / RNLD)
- At least 12 months post-registration experience in the UK. We cannot accept care/health assistants or paediatric nurses
- Excellent communication skills and confidence writing reports using digital systems
- You must have the right to work in the UK and speak fluent English. We cannot offer sponsorship
What you’ll get:
- £39,500 salary + paid overtime
- Monday-Friday, 9-5, hybrid working, with part-time options available
- Structured training programme to equip qualified nurses with the skills required for DWP WCA assessments
- 25 days’ annual leave (with the option to buy/sell days)
- Ongoing CPD support and reimbursed revalidation fees
