If you’re ready to regain balance without stepping away from your profession — this is your moment!

Are you an experienced, motivated, high performing individual, with the desire to develop, learn and grow?

Are you looking for a different way to use your clinical skills, whilst gaining a great work-life balance?

What you can expect:

  • Opportunity to enhance pay through skills progression
  • 25 days annual leave (+BH) with the option to buy more
  • Paid CPD + reimbursed registration fees
  • Structured training programme to achieve formal DWP accreditation
  • Clear career routes within Ingeus and the wider APM Group
  • A high performing, supportive clinical led culture 

Is this role right for you?

Many clinicians find the role of a Functional Assessor rewarding, but it’s also challenging at the same time and it’s 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 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.

Who We’re Looking For

  • NMC-registered Adult Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD)
  • Or HCPC-registered Physio or OT
  • 12+ months of UK-based post-registration experience
  • Excellent communication and strong critical-thinking skills
  • Confidence navigating IT systems

If you’re ready to regain balance without stepping away from your profession — this is your moment.
