With more than 10 years of experience delivering government assessment services and a commitment to professional development and training, Advo is an established provider and one of the best places to work as an assessor in the UK.

About the role

Play a crucial role in the functional and disability assessments process, a service that touches the lives of millions of people in the UK.

You will work autonomously to assess the cases of people who are applying for the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) benefit or a Work Capability Assessment (WCA) as part of the DWPs Health Assessment and Advisory Services (HAAS). This will involve holding consultations and writing fair and accurate reports.

You will only work to assess people for PIP or a WCA, not both. As part of your application process, we will advise you on which service you will work on and discuss what your training will involve.
