If you're a nurse looking to regain work-life balance without walking away from your profession, this role could be exactly what you've been searching for.

Are you an experienced, motivated nurse looking for a new direction?

If you're proud of your clinical skills but ready for a change of pace - one that values autonomy, professional judgement, and structured working - becoming a Functional Assessor could be the ideal next step.

This role suits nurses who want to:

• Use their clinical knowledge in a new, objective way
• Achieve predictable hours and improved balance
• Develop professionally through structured training
• Work in a supportive, clinically led environment

What You Can Expect

• Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm - no nights, weekends, or bank holidays
• Hybrid working (typically 3 days on-site, with flexibility to do more if preferred)
• Skills‑based pay progression
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (option to buy more)
• Paid CPD and reimbursed NMC registration fees
• Structured programme leading to formal DWP accreditation
• Clear clinical and leadership career routes within Ingeus and the wider APM Group
• A supportive, high‑performance culture

Is This Role Right for You?

Being a Functional Assessor is rewarding, but it is also structured and detail‑focused. It's a great fit for nurses who:

• Are open to a formal training pathway leading to DWP assessor accreditation
• Welcome constructive feedback to support continuous improvement
• Are confident using IT systems and learning new software
• Enjoy roles with structure, consistency, and clear standards
• Take pride in producing high‑quality, clinically reasoned reports

This role may not be the best match if you:

• Prefer hands‑on clinical care
• Do not enjoy detailed written reporting
• Do not feel comfortable with IT
• Are not looking for a new direction or period of retraining
• Prefer roles without targets
• Require a fully remote position

What You'll Do Each Day

• Complete a range of person‑centred assessments (face‑to‑face, video, or telephone)
• Use clinical questioning, active listening, and critical reasoning to explore functional impact
• Produce structured, high‑quality clinical reports for DWP decision makers
• Review, request, and analyse additional evidence where appropriate
• Work closely with a team of experienced clinical colleagues to deliver fair, consistent assessments

Who We're Looking For

• NMC‑registered Nurses: RGN, RMN, RNLD
• 12+ months UK post‑registration experience
• Strong communication, clinical reasoning, and IT confidence

If you're a nurse ready to regain balance, build new skills, and take your career in a rewarding new direction - this is your moment.
