What does a Disability Assessor do?
PIP assessments - (looks at how a disability/health condition affects daily living and mobility)
WCA assessments - (looks at how a person's health condition/disability affects their functional ability in relation to work-related activities)
Your role will include:
- Conducting telephone and face-to-face assessments
- Reviewing medical evidence and health questionnaires
- Discussing how physical and mental health conditions affect daily activities
- Exploring functional ability through structured questioning
- Applying your clinical reasoning and critical-thinking skills
- Producing clear, accurate and objective reports
- Providing evidence-based recommendations following your assessments
Rather than providing hands-on treatment, you'll use your existing clinical knowledge, assessment skills and professional judgement to build an accurate picture of how someone's condition affects their everyday life.
It's a different way to use your clinical expertise, with more predictable working hours and without traditional shift patterns.
Never worked as a Disability Assessor before?
That's absolutely fine!
You don't need previous Disability Assessor experience.
You'll complete a fully paid 12-week training programme covering:
- Assessment techniques
- Functional assessment
- DWP guidance and requirements
- Report writing
- Role-specific systems and processes
What you'll need
To be considered, you'll need:
- At least 12 months' recent post-registration clinical experience in a relevant adult setting
- Active NMC, HCPC or GPhC registration
- Strong communication and assessment skills
- Good clinical reasoning and decision-making skills
- Strong written communication and report-writing ability
- Good IT and typing skills
- The ability to work independently and manage your workload effectively
