About The Role: Nurse Functional Assessor
As a Registered Nurse (or equivalent) working remotely (independent and assessment roles) for Maximus, your expertise in clinical assessments will help individuals navigate the challenges of disability or health conditions.

In addition to core assessment duties, this role includes:
- PIP-driven investigations—cloud-based analysis of customer communications (calls, complaints, emails).

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.
(Note: Direct PIP-related complaints handling sits within a smaller dedicated function, supporting UK businesses across health and benefit solutions.)
