Salary: £40,000–£43,000 starting salary (pathway-dependent) + guaranteed uplifts + bonuses

Why Clinicians Are Making the Switch
If you're an NMC or HCPC-registered professional who loves the clinical side of the job but is tired of the toll shift work takes on your health, your family, and your life outside work — this is a genuine career change, not just a new job.
You'll use the same skills you use every day — clinical reasoning, evidence analysis, communication, empathy — to assess how health conditions affect people's daily lives, and turn that into clear, professional reports. No hands-on treatment, no physical strain, no unsociable hours.
What You'll Be Doing
- Conducting face-to-face, phone, or video consultations with people living with a wide range of physical and mental health conditions
- Reviewing medical evidence and applying your clinical judgement to assess functional capacity
- Writing clear, objective, evidence-based reports
- Bringing empathy and professionalism to every interaction, with the highest standards of confidentiality
