Role Description

Discover a new kind of career in healthcare as a Clinical Assessor. Working in healthcare and looking for a change? If you are a fully registered medical practitioner, a psychologist, a registered nurse, an occupational therapist, or a physiotherapist, you could use your skills in a different way as a clinical assessor.

We’re looking for people with the compassion and mental health experience to bring our applicants through the disablement assessment process. We need people with:

• Great computer skills
• Impartiality
• Strong functional assessment and time management skills

It’s a challenging role and can be quite different from other healthcare professions, which is why we take your training and development seriously. You’ll begin with a 7-week training programme (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) with time set aside for self-development learning.

We’ll support you with close mentorship as you work on your ongoing development. Everyone starts at £39,500 per annum (pro rata for part-time). We offer a career pathway programme which can increase your salary up to £41,400 plus up to 10% performance incentive.

Overall, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your healthcare knowledge and gain skills and experience that could open new doors for you in the future. Many of our clinical assessors go on to become Operations Managers, Clinical Trainers, Clinical Coaches, and Quality Auditors.

If you’re looking for a change, including more regular working hours, a competitive salary, and a host of other benefits, and are ready to expand your skills and experience, this could be the role for you.
