Join Medacs Healthcare as a PIP Functional Assessor / Disability Assessor

If you're an NMC-registered Nurse or HCPC-registered Paramedic, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist considering a move away from hands-on clinical care, this role offers a structured alternative where your clinical judgement remains central.

Working as a PIP Functional Assessor, you'll evaluate how a person's health conditions impact their daily activities. This position focuses on professional assessment, evidence review and written clinical justification rather than treatment delivery.

What you’ll do

• Conduct telephone PIP assessments in a professional and empathetic manner
• Analyse medical evidence and clinical information
• Produce accurate, detailed and evidence-based written reports
• Work to defined quality standards and clinical frameworks
• Engage positively with feedback and development opportunities
• Collaborate with clinical and administrative colleagues

What we’re looking for

Essential:

• Registered Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Physiotherapist, Paramedic or Occupational Therapist
• Active NMC or HCPC registration with no restrictions
• Minimum 1 year's UK clinical experience
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Confident use of digital systems (35 WPM typing speed)
• Right to work in the UK (sponsorship not available)

Desirable

• Experience in functional assessment or advisory roles
• Confidence in producing high-quality written clinical reports

What's on offer

• Competitive salary with structured pay progression and bonus potential
• Approval bonus
• Remote working arrangement
• Structured hours - no evenings, weekends or bank holidays
• 25 days' annual leave plus your birthday off
• NMC/HCPC fee reimbursement after probation
• Comprehensive training and ongoing clinical support
• Clear progression routes and CPD opportunities
• £2,500 referral bonus (terms apply)

You'll enjoy this role if you…

• Prefer structured assessments and clear clinical frameworks
• Feel confident using computers and learning new clinical systems
• Enjoy writing detailed, high-quality reports
• Value routine, consistency and a balanced working pattern
• Are keen to learn and develop and open to constructive feedback

This role might not be right for you if you…

• Are looking to stay in hands-on clinical care or fast-paced, acute settings
• Prefer minimal structure rather than clearly defined processes
• Don't enjoy detailed report writing or written clinical work
• Would find working mainly with digital systems frustrating
• Would be uncomfortable with re-training for a different type of clinical role, which includes a comprehensive, supported training programme
• Would feel uncomfortable working in a role with targets and quality measures
