Job Summary

Are you a registered Paramedic looking to step away from shift work while continuing to use your clinical expertise?
This is an excellent opportunity to join the PIP assessment service as a Disability Assessor, offering a £39,500 starting salary, structured training, hybrid working, and long‑term career stability.

This role is ideal for Paramedics seeking predictable hours, professional development, and a sustainable career using clinical reasoning rather than frontline emergency work.

Role Overview

As a PIP Disability Assessor, you will complete functional assessments for individuals claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Assessments are carried out using a biopsychosocial approach, either face‑to‑face at the Aylesbury assessment centre or remotely via telephone/video, depending on service need.

You will review medical evidence, conduct structured consultations, and produce clear, defensible reports that support fair and accurate benefit decisions.

This is a hybrid role, linked to Sunley House, Aylesbury, with home working available following successful completion of training.


What you’ll do

  • Conduct functional assessments for PIP claimants
  • Review medical records and supporting clinical evidence
  • Complete detailed, evidence‑based assessment reports
  • Apply strong clinical reasoning across a wide range of conditions
  • Manage your own caseload within agreed timescales

  • Minimum 12 months post‑registration clinical experience
  • Strong communication and report‑writing skills

  • Right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)
Previous assessor experience is not required – full training is provided.

Training & Support

  • Full‑time, fully paid training (minimum 9 weeks, may extend if required)
  • Structured induction covering legislation, assessment framework and report writing
  • Ongoing audit, mentoring and clinical coaching
  • Protected CPD time to support HCPC re‑registration
Paramedics from emergency, ambulance and community backgrounds consistently succeed in this role following training.

Pay & Benefits

  • £39,500 starting salary (Aylesbury site)
  • Annual salary review and progression structure
  • Hybrid working model
  • Monday to Friday working pattern – no nights, weekends or bank holidays
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Pension scheme and wellbeing support
  • Funded CPD and long‑term career pathways (audit, coaching, leadership roles)

Why Paramedics choose this role

  • Improved work–life balance
  • No shift work or emergency call‑outs
  • Continued use of clinical judgement and patient interaction
  • Stable, long‑term career outside frontline pressures
