About the Role
Are you an experienced, motivated, high-performing clinician looking for a new way to use your clinical skills while achieving a better work-life balance? As a Functional Assessor with Ingeus, you will carry out functional assessments with claimants face to face, via video and telephone to evaluate their ability to undertake activities of daily living.

You will ask focused questions, use active listening and critical reasoning skills to gather accurate information, and produce high-quality, structured clinical reports for submission to the DWP.

This role offers predictable hours, hybrid working with a minimum of 3 days at your local assessment centre (more if preferred), a structured training programme to achieve formal DWP accreditation, paid CPD, reimbursed registration fees, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays with the option to buy more, and clear career progression routes within Ingeus and the wider APM Group. You will be part of a high-performing, supportive, clinically led culture.

- Excellent communication and critical-thinking skills.
- Confident in typing and using computers.
