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

• NMC-registered Adult Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD)
• Or HCPC-registered Physio, Paramedic or OT
• 12+ months of UK-based post-registration experience
• Excellent communication and strong critical-thinking skills
