Functional Assessor

Hybrid role | Up to 3 days Face to Face / remainder Home based

Salary £42,000.00 per annum

Behind every assessment is a person who deserves to feel heard and understood.

At Advo Health, we support people at key moments in their lives. As part of the Ascenti Group, we deliver clinically led, high-quality assessment services that help individuals understand how their health affects their everyday activities and independence.

Our work is grounded in fairness, compassion and clinical integrity. Every assessment you complete plays an important role in ensuring claimants feel listened to, treated respectfully and supported throughout their journey.

If you are healthcare professional looking to step away from hands‑on clinical pressures, without stepping away from purpose, this could be the next chapter in your career.

As a Functional Assessor, your clinical knowledge will be utilised in a different but highly meaningful setting. You will work on either:

• PIP (Personal Independence Payment)

Our Talent Team will support you in identifying the most suitable benefit based on your background and experience.

There is no requirement for previous Functional Assessor experience. Full training is provided.

• Holding telephone, video or in-person consultations with claimants
• Assessing a wide range of physical and mental health conditions
• Applying clinical reasoning to understand how health impacts daily living
• Using strong IT and written communication skills to listen and produce accurate, evidence-based reports at the same time
• Working closely with your manager to support your development as a Functional Assessor

We welcome applications from registered healthcare professionals with at least 12 months post-registration experience, including:
