Job Description:
We are currently recruiting on behalf of our client for Registered Nurses (RGN, RMN or RNLD) Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists or Paramedics in Luton who are looking for a change in direction and to use their skills and knowledge in a different way, as a Functional Assessor.
We’re looking for people with the compassion and experience to understand claimants’ health conditions/disabilities and how they impact their lives. And we need people who can balance that with good computer skills, impartiality and strong time management.
The role involvesconducting initial reviews, paper-based reviews, face-to-face, video or telephone assessments to evaluate how a PIP claimant’s health condition or disability affects their day-to-day life. You will create a report following each assessment detailing an individual’s ability to carry out daily living activities and analyse and interpret clinical information and supporting evidence. You will create three comprehensive 3,000-4,000-word reports of the evidence gathered for each claimant, each day.
This is a Hybrid role which means you’ll be based at home and assigned to work from your nearest assessment centre on a rota basis to deliver face-to-face assessments. You’ll spend additional time in centres or office locations to catch up with your manager and wider team or attend in-person training sessions.
Full training is provided with an initial 12 week fully paid training programme (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) with time set aside for self-development learning. We also have 3 day and 4-day training options available. Ongoing mentorship and support are provided and excellent career development opportunities are available.
Full and part time roles are available (minimum 3 days peek week) with a starting salary of £39,000 to £41,500 per annum (pro rata for part-time) plus a 5% retention bonus. There are also 2 pay increases as you go through the initial training.
We are inviting applications from Registered Nurses (RGN, RMN or RNLD) Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists or Paramedics who meet the following criteria.
*one year’s post-registration experience as a nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist or paramedic
*fully registered with a relevant UK regulatory body (NMC, HCPC or other), without restriction or conditions and with a valid PIN
*excellent observational and communication skills, giving you the ability to listen, empathise and dig deeper
*the ability to type at a minimum of 30 words per minute
*demonstrable experience with using IT and Microsoft Office, as well as remotely accessing systems such MS Teams
For further information please call Kenny or alternatively forward your CV for consideration.
