Are you passionate about helping others? Do you have 12+ months of UK-based post-registration experience as an NMC registered nurse (RGN, RNLD, RMN) or HCPC registered paramedic, physiotherapist, or occupational therapist?

As a Functional Assessor, your primary responsibilities will include:
- Conducting health and disability assessments to understand each person’s unique needs.

- Preparing detailed reports and recommendations for submission to the Department of Work and Pensions.
- Collaborating with colleagues to provide high-quality service to claimants and contribute to the continuous improvement and excellence of health assessment services in the UK.
