Clinical Assessor – Northern Ireland

• Full-time
• Part-time 30 hrs per week

We’re looking for people with the compassion and mental health experience to bring our applicants through the disablement assessment process. We need people with great computer skills, impartiality and strong functional assessment and time management skills.

It’s a challenging role and can be quite different from other healthcare professions, and that’s why we take your training and development seriously. You’ll begin with a 5-week, training programme (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) with time set aside for self-development learning.

We’ll be here to support you, with close mentorship provided as you work on your ongoing development. Everyone starts at £38,500 per annum (pro rata for part-time). 

We offer a career pathway programme which can increase your salary up to £41,400 plus up to 10% performance incentive.

Overall, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your healthcare knowledge, and gain skills and experience which could open new doors for you in the future. Many of our clinical assessors go on to become Operations Managers, Clinical Trainers, Clinical Coaches and Quality Auditors.

If you’re looking for a change, including more regular working hours, a competitive salary and a host of other benefits, and are ready to expand your skills and experience, this could be the role for you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Meet face to face both physically and/or virtually and review available medical evidence from applicants to the scheme to determine the permanence of an applicants’ condition and their percentage disablement

• Play a pro-active role in seeking insight and further medical evidence as required from GPs, other healthcare professionals or services to support the applicant’s TPDPS application

• Gather relevant information, where applicable from the applicant and or representative, and analyse and interpret clinical information along with any other supporting evidence.

• Compile a comprehensive report in a professional and concise manner, including a detailed history, a full justification and conclusion from evidence gathered to support the Victims’ Payments Board (VPB) in its decision-making.
