A Different Way to Use Your Clinical Skills as this isn't a traditional hands-on healthcare role. Instead, you'll focus on understanding how a person's condition affects their everyday life, using your clinical knowledge to assess their functional ability.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Conducting 3 detailed telephone and face-to-face PIP assessments
- Exploring how physical, mental health, cognitive and other conditions affect daily living and mobility
- Taking detailed clinical and functional histories
- Reviewing medical evidence and supporting documentation
- Applying clinical reasoning and professional judgement to the information gathered
- Producing accurate, objective and evidence-based assessment reports for the DWP
- Managing your workload while maintaining high standards of quality and accuracy
The DWP makes the final decision on benefit entitlement. Your role is to provide a fair, thorough and impartial assessment of the evidence.
