Clinical Assessor Jobs

Become a Remote-based Clinical, Disability and PIP Assessor

The role of a Clinical, Disability and PIP Assessor involves carrying out assessments for PIP (Personal Independence Payments). This is a requirement by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and involves completing a comprehensive assessment followed by an accurate and detailed report.

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

• 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.

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.
