Functional Assessor

£41.61k per annum
Full-time


Ingeus is a leading human services provider helping people, business and communities thrive through employment, skills and health & wellbeing services. We are a trusted partner to government and industry delivering services that create positive social impact and transform lives.

Job Description

  • Starting Salary £41,612
  • Fully remote role
  • Full time Monday - Friday 9.00am - 5.00pm
  • Further salary uplifts as you learn new specialist skills from year 2.
  • Up to 10% quarterly discretionary bonus
  • 25 days holiday (+BH) with the option to buy more 

Are you looking to your clinical skills in a different way? As a Functional Assessor, you'll continue to utilise your clinical expertise, maintain your registration, and enjoy a better work-life balance. If you have a minimum of 12 months' post-registration experience and have been practising as a clinician throughout the last year, we'd love to hear from you. If you are a pharmacist, we welcome your application if you have a minimum of 18 months experience.

What you’ll be doing as a Functional Assessor:

 

  • Liaising directly with claimants, using active listening and questioning skills to obtain additional evidence where needed in order to complete the assessment.
  • Liaising with clinical peers across the NHS and private healthcare sector, charities, and support organisations to obtain and evaluate evidence that assists in the production of detailed assessment reports.
  • Triaging cases to determine the assessment route a case will take.
  • Conducting initial case reviews, file work and paper-based assessments.
  • Applying critical thinking and logical reasoning to produce accurate and detailed reports on each case.

As a Functional Assessor with Ingeus you can expect:  

  • Predictable hours
  • Up to 10% quarterly discretionary bonus
  • 25 days holiday (+BH) with the option to buy more 
  • Private pension
  • Private medical insurance 
  • Maternity and Parental Leave 
  • Paid training, CPD + reimbursed registration fees 
  • Paid, structured training to achieve formal DWP accreditation 
  • A high performing, supportive clinically led culture  
  • Clear career routes within Ingeus and the wider APM Group 
  • Online shopping discounts  
  • Variety of other financial and lifestyle options 
  • £2000 refer a friend scheme 

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: 

  • Thrives on service excellence in a high performing working environment that offers structure and the opportunity to use your clinical skills in a different way. 
  • 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. 

This role may not be the best match for you if:   

  • You are not comfortable using 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 nor a period of retraining into a new role. 
  • You don’t enjoy working in an environment with targets. 
  • You are not looking for a role that requires you to work on site for some or all of your working week.3 days a week.

We look forward to receiving your application!

Qualifications



 Who We’re Looking For 

  • NMC-registered Adult Nurses (RGN, RMN, RNLD) or HCPC-registered Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Paramedics or GPHC-registered Pharmacists. 

With excellent communication & critical-thinking skills, the ability to type and confidence using computers
