Ready for a Change from Shift Work?
Are you a Registered Adult Nurse or Mental Health Nurse looking for a new career direction without stepping away from healthcare?
Perhaps you're ready for a break from long shifts, nights and weekend working, but still want to use your clinical knowledge, nursing experience and assessment skills to make a genuine difference to people's lives.
A career as a Nurse Functional Assessor could be the opportunity you've been looking for. We have exciting opportunities available in Cardiff, offering full-time, part-time, and hybrid.
What Is a Functional Assessor?
As a Nurse Functional Assessor, you'll use your existing clinical skills in a completely different way. You'll carry out holistic assessments to understand how an individual's health condition or disability affects their day-to-day life and functional ability.
Following each assessment, you'll produce a clear, factual and evidence-based report to support the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with benefit eligibility decisions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will not diagnose, prescribe medication or provide treatment. Instead, you'll use your clinical judgement, communication and assessment skills to listen, gather information and build a clear picture of how someone's condition impacts their daily life.

- Carrying out comprehensive functional assessments.
- Speaking with individuals about their health conditions and daily lives.
- Assessing a wide range of physical and mental health conditions.
- Using your clinical knowledge and professional judgement.
- Reviewing relevant medical and supporting evidence.
- Producing clear, detailed and factual assessment reports.
- Working within professional, clinical and quality standards.

We'd love to hear from you if you are:
- An NMC-registered Adult Nurse or Mental Health Nurse.
- Experienced with at least 1 year of broad post-registration experience in the UK.
- A confident and experienced clinician.
- Comfortable assessing a diverse range of health conditions, including complex and mental health presentations.
- An excellent written and verbal communicator.
- Comfortable using computer systems and typing detailed clinical reports.
