• Work within an office style environment and at home, to complete approximately detailed, meaningful and respectful assessments over the telephone, video or face-to-face
• Interpret medical evidence and gather your findings into a comprehensive report, to support the decision-making process by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
