Disability Assessor (Pbr)

Capita Personal Independence Payments (PIP) in Belfast are currently looking to expand their existing team of office based Disability Assessors on a full time or part time permanent basis in the following teams:

Paper Based Reviews (PBRs) Team

As a Disability Assessor within the Paper Based Review Team you will undertake an assessment of an individual who is making a claim for the Personal Independence Payment taking into account all of the information presented including any supporting evidence e.g. the claimant’s completed questionnaire and information from GP’s or Specialists. You will then carry out a comprehensive review and analysis to enable you to complete a robust, structured report which will then be presented to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

This report will contain a detailed history of the claimant condition(s) including information gathered on the functional impact of their health condition or impairment on their daily living and mobility, their current medication and treatment.

You will provide a full justification explaining how you came to these conclusions from the evidence gathered and define the probable timescales over which a health condition or impairment may affect the claimant. Therefore you will also give your recommendation of when it would be medically sensible to review the claimant’s circumstances again.

Who we’re looking for

This is really important… You must have at least two years’ post-registration experience as a Nurse, Occupational Therapist (OT), Physiotherapist, Paramedic or Doctor with a licence to practice and must be registered with the NMC / HCPC / GMC with a valid PIN.

For this role, you will be happy working as part of a team or on your own initiative and will have sufficient clinical knowledge to read and understand complex claimant information. You will have excellent report writing skills to enable you to provide DWP with a robust assessment report. You’ll have appropriate questioning skills and will be confident using computers.

Salary of £38,400per annum
