Are you a driven Nurse, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist or Paramedic who is seeking a new challenge and looking to improve your work-life balance?

Do you want to use your clinical knowledge, skills and clinical decision making abilities in a non-clinical environment?

If you have answered yes to these questions, then an excellent and unrivalled opportunity awaits you at Independent Assessment Services, working as a Health & Disability Analyst.

Throughout your training and beyond, you will receive coaching, mentoring and day-to-day support from your colleagues.

Following the assessment, it will be your job to write a detailed, objective report for the DWP, who then make a decision on the persons PIP claim.

While the role is autonomous, you will have the excellent benefit of being able to share knowledge with a team made up of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, paramedics and nurses from the fields of mental health, general nursing and learning disabilities. To be considered for this opportunity, full registration with the NMC / HCPC, plus a minimum of 18 months post-registration experience within a range of clinical settings is required. A full driving license is also essential.

In addition to an excellent reward package that is worth up to the value of £9,000 per year, you will have the opportunity to receive two salary increases in your first 18 months dependent on performance.
