Job responsibilities

• Use your clinical experience to work with people who have a diverse range of health conditions to understand how their challenges and the ways their disability affect daily life
• Work within an office-style environment and at home to complete detailed, meaningful and respectful assessments over the telephone, video or face-to-face
• Interpret medical evidence and gather findings into a comprehensive report to support the decision-making process by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

Requirements

• NMC registration is required
