You will conduct either face‑to‑face or telephone assessments, use a wide range of information to create a report which is sent to the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), and assess up to four individuals per day.

Your Requirements

You must have a full and clear NMC/HCPC registration and at least one year of post‑registration experience. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required. The role will maintain your NMC/HCPC registration and provide revalidation support throughout your career.
