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.
    • Thrives in a working environment that offers structure and the opportunity to use your clinical skills in a different way.

 

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

    • You are not comfortable 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 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 not looking for a role that requires you to work on site for 3 days a week.

If you feel this is the right role for you, we look forward to receiving your application.
