We offer an annual salary of £38,760 plus an attractive benefits package. You'll carry out assessments to understand how a person's disability or health condition affects their daily life. After each assessment, you'll produce a factual report enabling the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) decision maker to determine a customer's eligibility for benefits. We know that having the right people does make the difference to our customers' lives. That's why we go to great lengths to ensure our colleagues feel valued and rewarded for the work they do as well as support their worklife balance. Essential Job Duties: As a nurse within our CHDA business, you'll undertake a combination of file-work and face-to-face assessments in relation to a variety of benefits. These assessments will focus on how a health condition or disability affects a person's day-to-day life.

Undertake a combination of file-work and face-to-face assessments in relation to a variety of benefits. Use IT software programmes to support clinical decision making when undertaking file-work face-to-face assessments. Provide comprehensive reports to enable decision makers at DWP to make informed decisions regarding benefit claims. Ensure that professional practice standards and "best practice" are maintained in all areas of work. Analyse and interpret clinical information and medical evidence and provide a professional and concise report. Apply professional skills and manage own professional competence and accountability, in accordance with the NMC Code of Conduct. Work unsupervised and use your own initiative; understanding your own limitations and requesting support when necessary or required. Education and Experience Requirements: Our Nurses play a pivotal role in supporting our customers to move forward with their lives, so we'll support you through a formal training programme to enable you to carry out quality, sensitive and respectful functional assessments. You'll be comfortable working to targets, open to feedback and have good IT skills, including the ability to type at a reasonable pace along with having excellent communication skills, both oral and written, as well as being confident in working with a wide range of p and the ability to handle challenging situations.
