Registered Nurses | Occupational Therapists | Physiotherapists
Paramedic or Pharmacist? We have PIP Assessor roles for you too (details below).
-
Still love being clinical, just not the shift pattern?
What if you could keep using your clinical expertise without nights, weekends or long shifts?
-
We're recruiting Work Capability Assessment (WCA) Functional Assessors in Cambridge. You'll assess how a person's health condition or disability affects their capability for work, then write the report the DWP uses to make Universal Credit and ESA decisions.

Who can apply for WCA?
- Registered Nurses (NMC), Occupational Therapists or Physiotherapists (HCPC) with active registration and no conditions or restrictions
- At least 1 year of post-registration adult clinical experience
- Full right to work in the UK (we can't offer sponsorship)
-
You don't need any previous assessor experience. You'll get 12 weeks of training on full pay.
-
Paramedic or Pharmacist?
Paramedics and Pharmacists aren't able to carry out WCAs, but you're very welcome to apply for our PIP Assessor roles in Aylesbury. These start at £40,000 and rise to £42,000 within your first year, with the same Monday to Friday hours and bonus scheme. Just apply below and we'll put you forward for PIP.
-
If you're a Nurse, OT or Physio, you can choose between WCA and PIP. Let us know when you apply and we'll talk you through both.
-
What's in it for you?
- £42,000 starting salary, going up to £43,000 after 12 months
- £2,100 one-off bonus once you're signed off after training
- Bonus of up to £1,050 every quarter after that (up to 10% a year)
- Overtime available at time and a half
- Extra pay if you take on file handling, auditing or training delivery
- Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with no nights, weekends or bank holidays
- Hybrid working
- Full-time, or part-time on 3 or 4 days a week (pro rata)
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy more
- Up to 6% pension contribution
- Employee discounts and wellbeing support
- Clear career progression
-
What will you actually be doing?
- Telephone and face-to-face WCAs
- Reviewing medical evidence and supporting information
- Looking at how health conditions affect function and capability for work
- Using your clinical reasoning and professional judgement
- Writing clear, objective, evidence-based reports for the DWP
-
There's no hands-on treatment, prescribing or traditional caseload. Instead you'll have time to listen properly, assess and write up your findings.
-
You'll also need
- Strong communication and report-writing skills
- Good IT skills
- Confidence working independently and managing your own workload
-
Please note we can't consider applications from Nursing Associates, Healthcare Assistants, student nurses or anyone without an active professional registration.
-
Your clinical career doesn't have to mean shift work. If you'd like a role where your experience still counts but your working week looks very different, I'd love to hear from you.
-
To apply, send your CV and your NMC/HCPC/GPhC PIN to Hannah at Everpool Recruitment:
