Job Summary

Centre for Health and Disability Assessments (CHDA) is operated by MAXIMUS UK Services, a global provider of health and employment services to a range of Public and Private sector clients.

Each year, CHDA Healthcare Professionals carry out more than one million assessments on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The purpose of the assessment is to understand how a person’s disability or health condition affects their daily life.  As a Registered Nurse (Functional Assessor) with us you will undertake a combination of file-work and assessments in relation to a variety of benefits. Working with a diverse team, supporting customers, conducting medical assessments and report writing will all be part of a days work. Due to COVID 19 all our Nurses are currently undertaking telephone assessments until we can resume face to face assessments.

You will work in a targeted yet supportive environment, where regular feedback is provided to ensure that we deliver the best quality outputs for the customer and the department. As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will work with varied customer bases and build positive working relationships with both medical and administrative support staff.

Required Experience

Here at Maximus UK Services, our Nurses play a pivotal role in supporting our customers to move forward with their lives. We support all our Nurses through a formal training programme to enable you to carry out quality, sensitive and respectful functional assessments.

We are looking for an NMC Registered Nurse with broad based post registration experience. You will need to be comfortable working to targets, open to feedback and have good IT skills, including the ability to type at a reasonable pace.

You will need to have excellent communication skills, both oral and written, as well as be confident in working with a wide range of patients and the ability to handle challenging situations. We are looking for nurses who are keen to learn and take a proactive approach to this.

You will need to demonstrate your NMC registration and continuous professional development in line with the NMC requirements. Previous experience of functional or disability assessment is desirable but not essential.
