The role

As a Functional Assessor, your main task will be to assess individuals and how their disabilities or conditions affect their work life.

Rest assured that you'll have the time you need to make a precise assessment and give each person your whole attention. And while you'll work unsupervised, you'll be part of a wider multi-disciplinary team - support is all part of the package.
