Experience a rewarding clinical career.

Are you an occupational therapist who wants to continue helping people but needs a better work life balance?
At Maximus, you don’t need to compromise. Join our Assessments Division as a Functional Assessor and use your clinical skills in a different way to help people move forward with their lives.
About the role.
You’ll carry out functional health 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 clinical insights to produce a factual report to help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine a person’s eligibility for benefits.
Every assessment is different, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to use and develop experience across a range of client groups. We’ll make sure you get the time you need with each customer to undertake a quality and respectful assessment, and help to influence change and improvement.
- A HCPC registered Occupational Therapist with 1 years’ broad post-registration experience in the UK
