Join Medacs Healthcare as a PIP Functional Assessor / Disability Assessor 

Are you a UK‑registered Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD) or HCPC‑registered Paramedic, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist looking for a non‑clinical role with structure, stability and predictable working hours? 

As a PIP Functional Assessor / Disability Assessor at Medacs Healthcare, you’ll complete Personal Independence Payment (PIP) functional assessments to understand how long‑term health conditions affect daily living. This is a non‑hands‑on clinical role focused on clinical reasoning, analysis and detailed report writing, rather than treatment or ongoing patient care. 

Once training is complete, the role is fully remote, offering a strong work–life balance while allowing you to continue using your clinical expertise in a meaningful way. 

Please note:  Whilst this role is remote, you will be required to travel to Leeds for the first day of your induction (travel/accommodation can be provided)

What you’ll do 

• Conduct telephone and video PIP assessments in a professional and empathetic manner 
• Review clinical records and medical evidence 
• Produce clear, accurate and evidence‑based written reports 
• Work to defined quality standards and clinical frameworks 
• Work independently while collaborating with colleagues across clinical and administrative teams  
• Participate in ongoing learning and development activities 
• Attend the assessment centre as required 

What we’re looking for 

Essential: 

• Registered Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Physiotherapist, Paramedic or Occupational Therapist 
• Active NMC or HCPC registration with no restrictions 
• Minimum 1 year’s UK clinical experience 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills 
• Confident use of digital systems (35 WPM typing speed) 
• Right to work in the UK (sponsorship not available)  
• Recent clinical experience across a variety of settings  
• Ability to multi-task and make objective, evidence-based decisions 

Desirable:  

• Previous experience in functional assessment or clinical decision-making  
• Skilled in producing accurate, concise reports 

What’s on offer 

• Competitive salary with structured reviews and bonus potential 
• Remote working
• Structured hours – no evenings, weekends or bank holidays 
• 25 days’ annual leave plus your birthday off 
• NMC/HCPC fee reimbursement after probation 
• Comprehensive training and ongoing clinical support 
• Clear progression routes and CPD opportunities 
• Pension, life assurance, EAP and lifestyle benefits 
• £2,500 referral bonus (terms apply) 

You’ll enjoy this role if you… 

• Prefer structured assessments and clear clinical frameworks 
• Feel confident using computers and learning new clinical systems 
• Enjoy writing detailed, high‑quality reports 

This role might not be right for you if you… 

• Are looking to stay in hands‑on clinical care or fast‑paced, acute environments 
• Would be uncomfortable with re‑training for a different type of clinical role, which includes a comprehensive, supported training programme 
• Would feel uncomfortable working in a role with targets and quality measures 

Why join Medacs Healthcare? 

At Medacs Healthcare, you’ll be supported by experienced clinical leaders, benefit from structured training and have the opportunity to build a long‑term career in a well‑established, supportive remote working environment.
