Are you a qualified
Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist or Paramedic in need of
better work-life balance? Do you want regular hours so you can make
the most of life? If so, we can offer you a Functional Assessor
role that comes with 9 to 5 hours and true hybrid working - plus
the chance to make the most of your medical skills. Could you be a
Functional Assessor? Read on to find out.
The role
As a Functional Assessor, your main task will be to assess
individuals and how their disabilities or conditions affect their
work life. Drawing on your clinical expertise, you'll listen
carefully and take down each person's medical history before
performing a physical examination. You'll then produce concise,
accurate reports for Department of Work & Pensions (DWP) so
they can decide each person's eligibility for benefits.
The role involves meeting people both face-to-face and via
telephone/video. But whether you connect online or in person,
you'll be sensitive, compassionate and able to ask the right
questions while upholding best practice standards.
Rest assured that you'll have the time you need to make a
precise assessment and give each person your whole attention. And
while you'll work unsupervised, you'll be part of a wider
multi-disciplinary team - support is all part of the
package.
Once you apply, one of our specialist
sjb medical recruiters will support you through the virtual
application submission process. Please note that you must be
committed to working at least three days per week for the part-time
role.
