Join Medacs Healthcare as a PIP Functional Assessor / Disability Assessor

If you're an NMC‑registered Nurse or HCPC‑registered Paramedic, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist considering a move away from hands‑on clinical care, this role offers a structured alternative where your clinical judgement remains central.

Working as a PIP Functional Assessor, you'll evaluate how a person's health conditions impact their daily activities. This position focuses on professional assessment, evidence review and written clinical justification rather than treatment delivery. The hybrid model combines home working with attendance at an assessment centre, providing consistency, routine and improved work-life balance.

What you'll do

  • Conduct face‑to‑face and telephone PIP assessments in a professional and empathetic manner
  • Analyse medical evidence and clinical information
  • Produce accurate, detailed and evidence‑based written reports
  • Work to defined quality standards and clinical frameworks
  • Engage positively with feedback and development opportunities
  • Collaborate with clinical and administrative colleagues
  • Attend the assessment centre as required

What we're looking for

Essential:

  • Registered Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Physiotherapist, Paramedic or Occupational Therapist
  • Active NMC or HCPC registration with no restrictions
  • Minimum 1 year's UK clinical experience
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Confident use of digital systems (35 WPM typing speed)
  • Right to work in the UK (sponsorship not available)

Desirable

  • Experience in functional assessment or advisory roles
  • Confidence in producing high‑quality written clinical reports

What's on offer

  • Competitive salary with structured pay progression and bonus potential
  • Approval bonus
  • Hybrid working arrangement
  • Structured hours - no evenings, weekends or bank holidays
  • 25 days' annual leave plus your birthday off
  • NMC/HCPC fee reimbursement after probation
  • Comprehensive training and ongoing clinical support
  • Clear progression routes and CPD opportunities
  • £2,500 referral bonus (terms apply)

You'll enjoy this role if you…

  • Prefer structured assessments and clear clinical frameworks
  • Feel confident using computers and learning new clinical systems
  • Enjoy writing detailed, high‑quality reports
  • Value routine, consistency and a balanced working pattern
  • Are keen to learn and develop and open to constructive feedback

This role might not be right for you if you…

  • Are looking to stay in hands‑on clinical care or fast‑paced, acute settings
  • Prefer minimal structure rather than clearly defined processes
  • Don't enjoy detailed report writing or written clinical work
  • Would find working mainly with digital systems frustrating
  • Would be uncomfortable with re‑training for a different type of clinical role, which includes a comprehensive, supported training programme
  • Would feel uncomfortable working in a role with targets and quality measures

Why join Medacs Healthcare?

Medacs Healthcare offers a supportive environment led by experienced clinicians, with robust training and long‑term development opportunities in a hybrid working model designed for sustainability and balance.

How to Apply: Please apply with your up-to-date CV. Or email nicole.keogh@medacs.com

Make the move into a clinically focused, non‑hands‑on role that values your expertise while offering greater flexibility and stability.

Ts & Cs apply. OTE subject to meeting eligibility criteria.
