Disability Assessor – Homebased

Starting salary: £38,000 Per Annum

Permanent contract – full and part time available

Location: Buckinghamshire – Milton Keynes

Meridian Business Support is a permanent recruitment agency and we are currently recruiting Disability Assessors (RGN, RMN, RNLD, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist and Paramedics) for an exciting opportunity working on the DWPs disability contract. The role requires you to use your broad-based medical experience and clinical knowledge to conduct independent health assessments and write reports for the DWP. You will not be required to make any decisions within this role but simply assist with the health assessment of the claims process.

As a Disability Assessor, you will utilise your clinical knowledge and broad-based medical experience by carrying out assessments and examinations in a holistic manner. Such assessments focus on how a person's health condition(s) may have an impact on day-to-day life. The role will require you to use IT systems and software to write clear and concise medical reports which will later be used for decision making purposes.

Ordinarily these assessments were conducted face to face, either in a local clinic or in the community, however due to the pandemic these assessments are now being conducted over the telephone, therefore we are offering permanent homebased roles to complete this type of functional assessment.

This is a permanent position with both full and part time available. The standard working hours are Monday – Friday, office hours. No weekends, nights or bank holidays are required.

Benefits

25 days' annual leave + 8 bank holidays, with the option to buy and sell annual leave
Pension scheme, matching up to 10% of your contributions
Life assurance, private medical insurance and medical indemnity insurance
Reimbursement of your annual NMC/HCPC registration fee
Health screening every two years, after one year's service
Thorough in-house and professional training and development, covering well over the required CPD hours to revalidate and maintain your professional registration
All flexible benefits can be tailored to your requirement and lifestyle: travel or dental insurance, child care vouchers, cycle to work scheme and many more
