• Work in an office environment and from home to complete detailed, meaningful, and respectful assessments over the telephone, video, or face-to-face.
• Interpret medical evidence and document findings into a comprehensive report to support Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) decision-making.

Requirements

• We can only accept applications from Nurses for this vacancy.
• NMC registration is required.
• You must have at least 1 year of broad post-registration experience; UK experience is essential.
