Working as a disability assessor
Independent Assessment Services needs skilled and experienced health professionals to look at the cases of people applying for Personal Independence Payment and a range of benefits in Northern Ireland.
It would be your job, as a disability assessor, to carry out assessments and write up your findings in fair and accurate reports for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Northern Ireland Department for Communities (NIDfC), who then make the final decision on a person’s claim.
From carrying out telephone, face-to-face and video consultations and interpreting clinical information, to liaising with medical teams involved with a person’s care, working as a disability assessor is both challenging and hugely rewarding.
