What does the Functional Assessor role involve?

The Functional Assessor role will involve you carrying out 4-5 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 makes the final decision, you don't. Your role is to gather information and produce the report.

This is an exceptional opportunity to work with a well-established, people-focused organisation. You'll receive outstanding training and support to ensure you are the best you can be in your new Functional Assessor role!

1. 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
2. Someone who’s proactive and keen to learn
3. Excellent oral and written communication skills
4. Competent IT and computer skills
5. Comfortable working with a diverse range of conditions, including mental health
