Is this role right for you?
Many clinicians find the role of a Functional Assessor rewarding, but its also challenging at the same time and its not the right fit for everyone.
This role would suit someone who:
- 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.

- you're not looking for a new direction in your clinical career or to embark on period of retraining into a new role.
- You don't enjoy working in an environment with targets.
- you are looking for a fully remote role.
What you'll be doing each day
- Carry out a number of person-centred face to face, video & telephone functional assessments.
- Through the assessment process you will ask focused questions, use active listening and critical reasoning skills to gather accurate information.
- Produce high quality, structured clinical reports on all claimants you assess, for submission to the DWP.
- Review evidence, request and evaluate additional evidence when required and clinically triage cases to determine the correct assessment pathway.
- Work alongside other highly experienced clinical colleagues to ensure high-quality & fair assessments for all claimants.
