Job requirements

Is this role right for you?

Many clinicians find the role of a Functional Assessor rewarding, but it's also challenging at the same time and it's not the right fit for everyone.

This role would suit someone who:

• Thrives on service excellence in a high performing working environment that offers structure and the opportunity to use your clinical skills in a different way.
• Is open to a formalised programme of training to become a DWP approved Functional Assessor.
• Is receptive to ongoing constructive feedback, ensuring our claimants continually get the very best experience.
• Has confidence in their ability to use computers and in learning different software packages to complete detailed, high-quality reports for all claimants assessed.

This role may not be the best match for you if:

• You are not comfortable using or are unfamiliar with technology.
• You dislike writing detailed reports.
• You prefer a more hands on approach to clinical care.
• You're not looking for a new direction nor a period of retraining into a new role.
• You don't enjoy working in an environment with targets.
• You are not looking for a role that requires you to work on site for some or all of your working week. xwzovoh
