Salary: £43,692.60 per annum
At Advo Health, we support people at key moments in their lives. As part of the Ascenti Group, we deliver clinically led, high-quality assessment services that help individuals understand how their health affects their everyday activities and independence.
Our work is grounded in fairness, compassion and clinical integrity. Every assessment you complete plays an important role in ensuring claimants feel listened to, treated respectfully and supported throughout their journey.
If you are a healthcare professional looking to step away from hands-on clinical pressures, without stepping away from purpose, this could be the next chapter in your career.
THE ROLE
As a Functional Assessor, your clinical knowledge will be utilised in a different but highly meaningful setting. You will work on either:
PIP (Personal Independence Payment) or
WCA (Work Capability Assessment)
Our Talent Team will support you in identifying the most suitable benefit based on your background and experience.
There is no requirement for previous Functional Assessor experience. Full training is provided.
This is a hybrid role, with around 60% face-to-face work in an assessment centre and 40% working from home, offering structure and balance, with no evenings or weekend shifts.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
Holding telephone, video or in-person consultations with claimants
Assessing a wide range of physical and mental health conditions
Applying clinical reasoning to understand how health impacts daily living
Using strong IT and written communication skills to listen and produce accurate, evidence-based reports at the same time
Working closely with your manager to support your development as a Functional Assessor
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We welcome applications from registered healthcare professionals with at least 12 months post-registration experience, including:
Registered Nurses (RGN, RMN, RNLD)
Physiotherapists
Occupational Therapists
Paramedics
Pharmacists
You will need full registration with NMC, HCPC or GPhC, and confidence using IT systems alongside your clinical judgement.
SALARY & BENEFITS
£43,692.60 per annum
Bonus up to 10% of salary once fully accredited
Annual salary reviews
Professional membership fees covered
25 days annual leave + bank holidays
Hybrid working and flexibility
Paid training and ongoing clinical support
Free physiotherapy and wellbeing services
Discounts, rewards and charity time gifting
Ready to explore something different? We are committed to an inclusive recruitment process and welcome applications from all backgrounds, including individuals with disabilities. If you require any reasonable adjustments at any stage, please let us know. Apply today to find out more about the role and how your clinical experience could translate into a rewarding new career.
