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).
