You will be conducting assessments through a combination of home consultation visits and assessment centre-based appointments.

During the assessment, it will be your job to take detailed notes and to type a detailed, objective report for the DWP, who then decide on each person's PIP claim.

While the role is autonomous, you will have the excellent benefit of being able to share knowledge with a team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, paramedics and nurses from the fields of mental health, general nursing and learning disabilities.

To be considered for this opportunity, full registration with the NMC / HCPC, plus a minimum of 2 years' post-registration experience within a range of clinical settings is required.
