• Through the assessment process you’ll ask focused questions and use active listening and critical reasoning skills to gather accurate information.
• Produce high quality, structured clinical reports on all claimants you assess, for submission to the DWP.
• Review evidence, request and evaluate additional evidence when required and clinically triage cases to determine the correct assessment pathway.
• Work alongside other highly experienced clinical colleagues to ensure high-quality & fair assessments for all claimants.
