Registered Nurse Functional Assessor – Yeovil

Company: iGo Recruitment

Posting date: 21 Oct 2026

Closing date: 20 Nov 2026

£40,000–£42,000 depending on assessment service

Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm

No nights or weekends

Full-time roles are available, and part-time applications may also be considered.

We are recruiting Registered Nurses (RGN, RMN and RNLD) for a permanent Functional Assessor opportunity in Yeovil, completing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Work Capability Assessment (WCA) functional health assessments. The role is also commonly known as a Nurse Assessor, Disability Assessor or Clinical Assessor.

You will complete structured assessments, review supporting evidence and produce clear, evidence‑based reports for the Department for Work and Pensions. This is an assessment and report‑writing role rather than a hands‑on nursing position.

The role

For PIP assessments, you will explore how a health condition or disability affects daily living and mobility.

For WCA assessments, you will consider how a person’s health affects functional capability for work or work‑related activity.

Assessments may take place by telephone, online video appointment or face‑to‑face at the Yeovil assessment centre. You will gather accurate information through structured questioning, apply your clinical knowledge and professional judgement, and produce clear, concise and evidence‑based reports.

An honest picture of the role

This is a report‑writing role as much as an assessment role. A significant part of the working day involves gathering detailed information, using IT systems and producing structured written reports.

You will not provide treatment, make medical diagnoses, give medical advice or make the final decision on benefit entitlement.

Working pattern

This is a permanent hybrid role based between home and the Yeovil assessment centre at BA20 1UU.

The normal working pattern is Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with no nights, weekends or rotating shifts. Full‑time roles are available, and part‑time applications may also be considered. The vacancy is not fully remote.

Training

You will complete a comprehensive, full‑time training programme before undertaking assessments independently.

Part‑time applicants must be available for the initial full‑time training period before moving to their agreed part‑time hours.

The salary is £40,000–£42,000, depending on the assessment service.
