Occupational Therapist Functional Assessor

Location : Pontefract

Permanent - full time or part time available (Mon-Fri)

Mixture of remote and assessment centre working, offering an exceptional work-life balance

Are you a qualified Occupational Therapist seeking a genuine work-life balance and a chance to thrive in a brand new healthcare environment, whilst both utilising and developing your clinical skills?

As a Functional Assessor you will work autonomously to assess the cases of claimants who are applying for Work Capability (WCA), as part of the DWP Health Assessment and Advisory Services (HAAS). The funding helps support individuals financially who are unable to work, or to live as much of an independent life as possible. You will be completing assessments with individuals who have an extremely broad range of health conditions, and you even have the opportunity to conduct some of these assessments remotely.

An in-depth training programme is provided which is also fully paid for, so you will feel fully equipped for your new role - plus this role counts towards your clinical hours, so you will maintain and uphold your registration!

An excellent benefits package as a Functional Assessor includes (but not limited to) :

  • A generous annual-leave package, plus all bank holidays off.
  • Hybrid working with flexible patterns to champion healthy work / life balance.
  • A collaborative and dynamic working environment
  • A robust fully-paid training programme
  • Great opportunities for development and progression

Job responsibilities as a Functional Assessor :

  • Use your clinical experience to work with people who have a diverse range of health conditions, to gain a clear understanding of how their challenges and the ways their disability affects them impacts their daily life
  • Working within an office style environment and at home, to complete detailed, meaningful and respectful assessments over the telephone, video or face-to-face
  • Interpret medical evidence and gather your findings into a comprehensive report, to support the decision-making process by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
  • Requirements as a Functional Assessor :

  • We can only accept applications from Occupational Therapists for this particular vacancy
  • HCPC registration is required
  • You must have at least 1 year of broad post-registration experience and UK experience is essential
  • Proactive, keen to learn and receptive to feedback
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills
  • Ability to work autonomously and IT competency is a must-have
