Are you an occupational therapist seeking a new challenge, flexible working and professional development opportunities?
At Maximus, you don’t need to compromise. Join our Assessments Division as a Functional Assessor and use your clinical skills in a different way to help people move forward with their lives.
About the role
You’ll carry out functional assessments to understand how a person’s disability or health condition affects their daily life, and produce factual reports to help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine their eligibility for benefits. From September, this will include PIP assessments and Work Capability Assessments (WCA) as part of the Health Assessment Advisory Service (HAAS).
Every assessment is different, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to use and develop experience across a range of client groups. We’ll make sure you get the time you need with each customer to undertake a quality and respectful assessment, and help to influence change and improvement.
What we look for
- A HCPC registered occupational therapist with at least 1 year’s broad post-registration experience in the UK
- A proactive and keen learner with excellent oral and written communication skills
- Someone who is comfortable using computer software to type and produce detailed reports
- An expert clinician comfortable working with a diverse range of conditions, including complex cases and mental health
This role is a great opportunity for registered OT to develop their clinical knowledge and hone their assessment skills further, all while helping people move forward with their lives.
