Functional Assessor – (Pip And Wca)

As a Functional Assessor you will work autonomously to assess the cases of people who are applying for the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Work Capability Assessment (WCA) as part of the DWPs Health Assessment and Advisory Services (HAAS). This will involve holding consultations and writing fair and accurate reports.

We are a diverse and welcoming team of specially trained Healthcare Professionals and Operational colleagues, with our clinical team coming from a variety of backgrounds, including Nurses (RGN, RMN and RNLD), Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Paramedics. We invest in extensive training programmes for both Healthcare Professionals and our Operational teams, focusing on placing the claimant experience firmly at the heart of our service. We work on behalf on the DWP to deliver clinical assessments for individuals who have applied for PIP (Personal Independence Payments) and WCA (Work Capability Assessment) benefit. As healthcare professionals we act as information gatherers, gaining information on how each individual’s conditions impacts their ability to undertake daily activities by completing in depth and individualised assessments in a respectful, non-bias and reassuring manner using our clinical curiosity, medical knowledge, learnt resources and clinical guidance.
