Are you a qualified Nurse 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 the 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.
