Disability Assessor - Newry, United Kingdom - Capita Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
&v=024){kind=logo}
Description
Job DescriptionOur disability assessors write reports which help the Department for Communities (DfC) make important decisions about a person's health and care. So maybe you're a nurse right now and you'd like to move away from direct care? This role offers you the chance to not only improve your assessment skills, but also to use your knowledge and experience to make important clinical recommendations. Or you might be an occupational therapist, physiotherapist or paramedic wanting to learn how to evaluate situations in a different way in a different setting. We're looking for people with the compassion and experience to understand our customers' health conditions/disabilities and how they impact their lives. And we need people who can balance that with great computer skills, impartiality and strong time management.
It's a challenging role and can be quite different from other healthcare professions, and that's why we take your training and development seriously. You'll begin with a five-week, classroom-based training programme (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) with one hour set aside for self-development learning each day. After this, you'll enter a 12-week learning pathway. The first six months can be the most difficult, so we'll be there to support you, with close mentorship provided as you work on your ongoing development. We offer a starting salary of £35,000 (rising to £36,000 once you gain department-approved status) with up to an extra 10% quality bonus available if you excel in your report writing.
Overall, you'll have the opportunity to grow your healthcare knowledge, and gain skills and experience which could open new doors for you. Many of our assessors go on to become team managers, clinical trainers, clinical coaches and quality auditors.
If you're looking for a change, including more regular working hours, a competitive salary and a host of other benefits, and are ready to expand your skills and experience, this could be the role for you.
What you'll be doing:
What we're looking for:
Your working hours:
While you'll be contracted to work 7.5 hours per day, 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. 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.
