About the role

 

Day-to-day, you’ll carry out telephone, video or face-to-face assessments to understand how a person's disability or health condition affects their daily life. You’ll listen to their experiences, ask questions and use your insights to produce a factual report to help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine their eligibility for benefits. It’s important work that has a big impact on real lives, so we’ll make sure you get the time you need with each customer to undertake a quality and respectful service.

 

Every assessment is different. You will work on a variety of cases across a range of conditions. It’ll be challenging at times, but we’ll support you to manage your caseloads efficiently, to deliver the best service.
