Nurse/Physiotherapist/Occupational Therapist/Paramedic Functional Assessor

Registered Nurse (RGN), Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist or Paramedic

If you’re a clinician with UK experience who enjoys structured work, meaningful conversations and predictable hours, this role offers a rewarding new direction. As a Functional Assessor with Ingeus, you’ll use your clinical reasoning—not hands-on care—to support people living with long-term health conditions, with the benefit of hybrid working and a clear work–life balance.

However, this role requires the ability to use computers and learn different software packages to complete detailed, high-quality reports for all claimants assessed. If you prefer hands-on care, struggle with structured frameworks or dislike producing detailed written reports, this will not be the right fit.

If you’ve submitted a recent application for an assessor role at Ingeus, it’s under review and there’s no need to reapply

Day to Day

You’ll carry out three functional assessments per day, completing:

• Telephone, video or in-person assessments
• Evidence review and clinical triage
• Focused questioning and active listening
• Clear, objective clinical reporting to strict standards

You’ll manage your workload independently, and your reports will contribute to DWP decision making.

Pay and Benefits

• Up to 10% annual bonus, paid quarterly
• £1000 performance related salary uplift in the first year
• £2,000 referral scheme
• Hybrid working (post-training)
• 25 days annual leave + BH
• Private pension & Private Medical Insurance
• Paid CPD + NMC/HCPC registration fee reimbursement

Training

You’ll complete a 9-week full-time induction with expert clinical tutors, followed by supervised assessments and ongoing feedback. Training is structured, detailed and essential for success in the role.

Development

For those who meet quality and performance standards:

• 35 hours of protected CPD each year
• Support from clinical supervisors
• Progression routes into Quality, Training, or Clinical Practice Lead roles

Your Requirements

• NMC or HCPC registration (Nurse, Physio, Paramedic or OT)
• 12+ months UK post-registration experience
• Strong IT and written communication skills
• High attention to detail and objectivity

If you’re organised, motivated and open to structured learning, this role offers stability, development and a balanced alternative to traditional clinical practice.

A note on experience

To be considered, you must have:

· Been a practising clinician in the UK for at least the last 12 months

· Broad clinical exposure to a wide range of conditions and ailments

· Strong written communication and clinical reasoning

Applicants who require sponsorship or who have not been practicing with the required skills for the last 12 months in the UK cannot be shortlisted.
