Be part of something great. Maximus is a global organisation specialising in health and employment services. In the UK, we employ around 5,000 people who deliver supportive services—including assessments, health programs, employability initiatives, and specialist support—that deeply impact individuals' lives.
About the Role: Nurse Functional Assessor
As one of our Registered Nurses or Nurse Practitioners, you’ll use your clinical expertise to assess how an individual’s disability or health condition affects their daily life. Your role involves complex cases, including physical and mental health conditions, as well as chronic pain disorders. With compassion and clinical precision, you’ll help customers move forward with confidence.
This isn’t just another role—it’s an opportunity to do good while embracing your potential. We provide a tailored training program, supervision, and mentorship to support your growth, ensuring you thrive from day one.
Key responsibilities include:
- Conducting telephone, video, or face-to-face assessments to evaluate daily living impacts.
- Writing and producing detailed Work Capability Assessment (WCA) reports for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to determine benefits eligibility.
- Constantly developing your clinical expertise, including regular feedback and supervision.
