Clinical Assessor Jobs

Become a Remote-based Clinical, Disability and PIP Assessor

At Medacs, we offer this role as a remote permanent position that is available both full and part time. Even though you are working from home, you will need to be able to travel into the following locations for IT purposes:

• Barnsley
• Bradford
• Gateshead
• Newcastle
• Redcar
• Scunthorpe
• Stafford

Clinical Assessor positions would also suit healthcare professionals who are interested in Functional Assessor roles as the day-to-day duties are very similar.  

Clinical, Disability and PIP Assessor salaries

The starting salary for Medacs home-based PIP Assessors is £35,000, with additional salary uplifts of £1,000 at 6 and 12 months. When you join the Medacs team, you’ll also be eligible for our £500 refer a friend scheme (Ts&Cs apply). Full training will also be provided.

Qualifications for Clinical, Disability and PIP Assessor jobs

If you’re a registered general nurse (RGNs, RMNs and RNLD), physiotherapist, occupational therapist or paramedic, this type of role will be ideal for you. As such, the ideal clinical assessors are already qualified medical professionals from a wide range of professions, who have up-to-date medical knowledge, are interested in functional assessor roles, and are perhaps looking to change their career trajectory. It would be best for those with previous experience of assessing and/or report writing, although full training will be provided.

To apply for many of our PIP assessor jobs, you will need:

• At least one year of post-registration experience
• A current Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) licence with no restrictions on your practising
• Strong IT skills

Full training on how to become a clinical assessor will be provided, and you’ll be able to claim a refund on your NMC or HCPC fee once you have passed your probation.

Key skills and experience

This role is best suited to those with a broad knowledge and previous experience of assessing and/or report writing although full training will be provided.

It’s also vital that you have a number of strong interpersonal skills, in addition to:

• The ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment
• Strong IT skills, being proficient in Microsoft Office with the ability to navigate various IT systems
• Good organisational skills
• Empathy and a good way with people
• An eye for detail
• Great observational skills
• Experience of working in different clinical settings with exposure to a wide range of conditions

Developing your career

There is a huge scope to grow professionally within your Clinical Assessor career. The next step up would be a Clinical Coach position where you will take charge of training and supporting a Disability Assessor team. Following on would be the Clinical Support Lead who is responsible for a team of health professionals, including Clinical Coaches.

Finally, our Clinical Delivery Manager role has overall responsibility for the Clinical Management Team, who ensures change management and service delivery standards are maintained.
