Are you a qualified Paramedic looking for a new direction in your clinical career?

As a Functional Assessor, you will use your assessment skills to support individuals applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), helping ensure fair and accurate outcomes.
This role is ideal for Paramedics who want improved work-life balance, structured hours, and the chance to develop their career in a supportive, professional environment.
As a Functional Assessor, you will carry out impartial, evidence-based assessments on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions. You will speak with individuals, review medical evidence, and produce detailed reports that help determine eligibility for benefits.

- HCPC registered Paramedic
- Minimum of 1 year’s clinical experience
- Strong communication and report writing skills
- Comfortable using IT systems and digital platforms
- Ability to work autonomously while following clinical guidance
This role offers a genuine alternative to shift-based clinical work, with structured hours and a strong benefits package.
- Salary of £40,000
- Monday to Friday working pattern, no weekends or night shifts
- Hybrid working model (clinic and home-based assessment delivery)
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with option to buy more
- Company pension contribution
- Paid professional registration fees
- Structured career progression opportunities
- Employee discounts and wellbeing support
You will receive a comprehensive paid training programme lasting a minimum of 9 weeks, designed to give you all the skills and confidence required to succeed in the role. Training is fully supported and may be extended where needed to ensure competence and comfort in the position.
Ongoing professional development is a key focus, with regular coaching, feedback, and career progression pathways available.
