Nurses, OTs & Physios — Is It Time to Leave the Frontline? Become a Functional Assessor!

WCA Functional Assessor | Salary: £42k to £43k | Location: Yeovil | Hybrid | Monday–Friday

Registered Nurses | Occupational Therapists | Physiotherapists

Are you ready to step away from the frontline, but don't want to leave your clinical career behind? This could be the career change you've been looking for.

As a WCA Functional Assessor, you'll use your existing clinical knowledge, assessment skills and professional judgement in a completely different environment — helping assess how a person's health conditions affect their ability to work and carry out work-related activities.

No nights. No weekends. No long shifts. No hands-on care.

Instead, you'll have a structured Monday–Friday working pattern, comprehensive training and the opportunity to build a long-term career outside traditional frontline healthcare.

What will you be doing? You'll conduct assessments with individuals who have a range of physical and mental health conditions, using structured questioning to understand:

• Their medical history and current conditions
• How their health affects their day-to-day functioning
• Their physical, mental and cognitive abilities
• How their conditions may affect their ability to work
• Relevant medical evidence and clinical information

You'll then use your clinical reasoning and professional judgement to produce clear, objective and evidence-based reports.
The role is challenging, but the challenge is different from frontline clinical work. You'll need strong communication skills, attention to detail, clinical reasoning and the ability to manage your workload effectively.

What's in it for you?

• Monday–Friday working
• No nights, weekends or bank holidays
• Hybrid working
• Structured working hours
• Full training provided
• No previous Functional Assessor experience required
• Use your clinical knowledge in a new way
• Excellent work-life balance
• Full-time and part-time opportunities available following training
• Long-term career development and progression opportunities

Who are we looking for? We are looking for fully registered and experienced:

• Registered Nurses
• Occupational Therapists
• Physiotherapists

You will need over 12 months relevant post-registration clinical experience and an active professional registration.

No other professions will be considered for this particular role.

If you're ready to step away from shift work, use your clinical expertise differently and build a career with better structure and work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.
