This hybrid role offers the best of both worlds: a mix of remote work and time spent in an assessment centre. It's an incredible opportunity to develop your clinical expertise while making a genuine difference in people's lives.
About the Role
As a Disability Assessor, you'll play a vital role in supporting individuals applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) as part of the DWP's Health Assessment and Advisory Services (HAAS).

You'll have the opportunity to conduct assessments over the phone, via video, or face-to-face, providing flexibility in your work.
You will be provided with an in-depth, fully paid training program to ensure you feel confident and fully equipped for your new role. Plus, this position counts towards your clinical hours, helping you maintain your professional registration!
What You'll Be Doing:
* Utilising your clinical experience to conduct assessments with individuals with diverse health conditions.
* Understanding how disabilities and health challenges affect claimants' daily lives.
* Completing detailed and empathetic assessments (over the phone, video, or face-to-face) from both home and an assessment centre.
* Interpreting medical evidence and compiling comprehensive reports to support DWP's decision-making process.
What We're Looking For:
* Qualified Nurses, Physiotherapists, Paramedics, or Occupational Therapists.
* Current NMC/HCPC registration is essential.
* At least 1 year of broad post-registration experience in the UK.
* A proactive and adaptable individual who is keen to learn and open to feedback.
* Excellent oral and written communication skills.
* The ability to work autonomously and strong IT competency.
Excellent Benefits Package Includes:
* A generous annual leave package plus all bank holidays off.
* Hybrid working with flexible patterns to champion a healthy work/life balance.
* A collaborative and dynamic working environment.
* A robust, fully paid training program.
* Great opportunities for development and career progression.
