The PIP Disability Assessor role will involve you carrying out 3 to 4 client assessments per day. A typical day will see you carry out telephone, video or face-to-face assessments to understand how a person's disability or health condition affects their daily life. You’ll listen to their experiences, ask questions and use your insights to produce a factual report to help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine their eligibility for benefits. That's the good news; the DWP make the final decision, you don't. Your role is to gather information and produce the report.
What is on offer?
- Excellent starting salary at £40,000pa, salary increase to £41,000pa at 6 months and a further salary increase to £42,000pa at 12 months
- Monday to Friday working hours
- Full time and part time available (3, 4 or 5 days per week available)
- Hybrid/home working available
- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays + the ability to buy or sell 5 more days + pension
- Eastbourne based when working on site
- NMC or HCPC fees paid for and CPD revalidation support provided
What we look for;
• An NMC registered nurse (RGN, RMN or RNLD) or HCPC qualified Physiotherapist, Paramedic or Occupational Therapist with 1 year’s or more broad post-registration experience
• Someone who’s proactive and keen to learn
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
