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.

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

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
• £1000 Approval bonus (terms apply)
• 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
• Value routine, consistency and a balanced working pattern
• Are open to constructive feedback and keen to learn and develop

This role might not be right for you if you…

• Are looking to stay in hands‑on clinical care or fast‑paced, acute environments
• Prefer minimal structure rather than clearly defined processes
• Don’t enjoy detailed report writing or written clinical work
• Would find working mainly with digital systems frustrating
• 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.
