Speech and Language Therapist - Birmingham, United Kingdom - Capita Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
&v=024){kind=logo}
Description
Job DescriptionWhat you'll be doing:
What we're looking for:
Your working hours:
While you'll be contracted to work 37.5 hours per week, you'll be able to agree your actual working hours with your line manager. We'll consider your work-life balance, as well as the needs of the business, to try and create a working pattern that benefits both of us.
Working patterns can be between the hours of 8am and 8pm, Monday to Friday and include an hour for lunch, unpaid. For example, 8am – 4:30pm or 9am – 5:30pm. We'll also try to give you a minimum of 4 weeks' notice of any changes to your rota if they are needed.
About Capita PIP
At Capita, we're carrying out Personal Independent Payment (PIP) assessments on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) across the Midlands and in Wales, and on behalf of the Department for Communities (DfC) in Northern Ireland. PIP helps people with a wide variety of disabilities cover the extra costs that they may face when trying to lead full, active and independent lives. Join us and discover how you can use your compassion and healthcare skills to take your career in a different direction.
What's in it for you?
You'll get the chance to follow your chosen career path anywhere in Capita. You'll be joining a network of 43,000 experienced, innovative and dedicated individuals across multiple disciplines and sectors. There are countless opportunities to learn new skills and develop in your career, and we'll provide the support you need to do just that. Our purpose is to create a better outcome for you.
Health Assessment Advisory Service 'HAAS'
From September 2024, all PIP assessments will be delivered under a new service, Health Assessment Advisory Service 'HAAS'. This will bring together all functional health assessment services within a geographical area under a single provider in each region. This means claimants will only need to deal with one provider for the assessment of their health condition or disability.
All PIP Disability Assessors (regardless of the supplier) will transition to deliver PIP assessments under the new HAAS service when it goes live in September. This transition brings a few differences:
There will be new elements introduced to our ways of working, including a more structured approach to assessors' workdays and a new rota system to support a healthier work/life balance.
What we hope you'll do next:
Choose 'I'm Interested' to fill out our short application, so that we can find out more about you.
To view our Covid-19 and process adjustments information, please visit the Capita Careers site.
Equal Opportunities
We're an equal opportunity and Disability Confident employer, which means we recruit and develop people based on their merit and passion. We're committed to providing an inclusive, barrier-free recruitment process and working environment for everyone. If you need the job description or application form in an alternative format (such as large print or audio), or if you'd like to discuss other changes or support you might need going forward, please email and we'll get back to you.
