Instead, you'll use your clinical expertise to conduct structured assessments, evaluating how long-term health conditions or disabilities affect a person's daily life and mobility, and translating your findings into clear, objective reports that help determine eligibility for support and benefits.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough face-to-face, telephone, or video consultations with individuals living with a range of physical and mental health conditions

• Maintain empathy, professionalism, and strict confidentiality throughout every assessment

• Starting base salary: £45,000
• At 6 months (on approval): £48,000 — £1,000 six-month uplift + £2,000 face-to-face assessor uplift
• At 12 months: £49,000 — additional £1,000 twelve-month uplift

That's up to £4,000 in guaranteed uplifts within your first year, on top of your starting salary.

Bonuses, Earnings & Skill Progression

• One-off approval bonus: 5%, paid on successful approval
• Annual performance bonus: Up to 10%, paid quarterly (2.5% per quarter), subject to performance
• Overtime: Paid at time and a half (1.5x) once approved
• Voluntary upskilling: Once approved and meeting performance targets, train in Auditing (PIP & WCA) for +£500 on approval

• Hybrid working: 50/50 model available after training
