Nurses, OTs & Physios — Is It Time to Leave the Frontline? Become a Functional Assessor

WCA Functional Assessor | Salary: £42k to £43k | Location: Yeovil | Hybrid | Monday–Friday

Registered Nurses | Occupational Therapists | Physiotherapists

Are you ready to step away from the frontline, but don't want to leave your clinical career behind? This could be the career change you've been looking for.

As a WCA Functional Assessor, you'll use your existing clinical knowledge, assessment skills and professional judgement in a completely different environment — helping assess how a person's health conditions affect their ability to work and carry out work-related activities.

No nights. No weekends. No long shifts. No hands-on care.

Instead, you'll have a structured Monday–Friday working pattern, comprehensive training and the opportunity to build a long-term career outside traditional frontline healthcare.

What will you be doing? You'll conduct assessments with individuals who have a range of physical and mental health conditions, using structured questioning to understand:

Their medical history and current conditions
How their health affects their day-to-day functioning
Their physical, mental and cognitive abilities
How their conditions may affect their ability to work
Relevant medical evidence and clinical informationYou'll then use your clinical reasoning and professional judgement to produce clear, objective and evidence-based reports.
The role is challenging, but the challenge is different from frontline clinical work. You'll need strong communication skills, attention to detail, clinical reasoning and the ability to manage your workload effectively.

What's in it for you?
Monday–Friday working
No nights, weekends or bank holidays
Hybrid working
Structured working hours
Full training provided
No previous Functional Assessor experience required
Use your clinical knowledge in a new way
Excellent work-life balance
Full-time and part-time opportunities available following training
Long-term career development and progression opportunitiesWho are we looking for? We are looking for fully registered and experienced:

Registered Nurses

If you're ready to step away from shift work, use your clinical expertise differently and build a career with better structure and work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.
