- • Your day-to-day responsibilities include carrying out initial reviews via telephone, video, or in-person assessments, observing claimants’ functional abilities, analysing clinical evidence, and producing detailed 3,000–4,000-word reports—up to three per day—to ensure sufficient justification for benefit decisions.
- • You will join Capita Health Assessment Advisory Service (HAAS), a trusted provider delivering disability assessments on behalf of UK government departments, with a mission to improve access to support for vulnerable individuals through fair, accurate, and compassionate evaluations.

- • Full registration with a relevant UK regulatory body (NMC, HCPC or equivalent) with no restrictions and a valid PIN
- • Excellent observational and communication skills, including the ability to listen actively, empathise, and gather detailed information during assessments
- • Proficiency in using IT systems and Microsoft Office, including remote access to platforms, to manage assessments and documentation
- • A valid UK driving licence or reliable access to travel to your nearest assessment centre for in-person evaluations on a rotational basis
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive starting salary of £39,500, increasing to £40,500 upon achieving DWP approval, with eligibility for a discretionary bonus of 10% of base salary based on performance and quality
- • 25 days’ annual leave (increasing to 27 after five years), plus the option to purchase additional leave, and reimbursement of annual professional registration fees
- • Comprehensive benefits package including company-matched pension, life assurance, cycle-to-work scheme, 15 weeks’ fully paid parental leave, access to Headspace app, and referral rewards
