Not required
If you meet the above requirements and are looking for a change from traditional clinical settings, this role could be the perfect opportunity to apply your skills in a new and rewarding way.
At Aspect, we will guide you throughout the whole recruitment process from start to finish. The application and interview process will look different depending on what role you apply for, but please see below for a typical idea of what to generally expect and how to prepare. You can view our current live vacancies here and for each role, our recruitment teams can provide specialised support around the application and interview process.
Initial call
Your recruiter will want to do an initial call to discuss your experience, motivations and the role you are applying for. It’s a good idea to have an up-to-date CV handy with your clinical experience and skills clearly highlighted. If you are happy with the role and meet the requirements, then you will be sent more information on the role and move onto the next stage of the process.
Internal Interview
The internal interview will differ depending on the role you have applied for, but this usually entails some more formal questions relating to your experience, motivations, understanding of the role, and general compliance questions. If both you and your recruiter are happy, your documents will be submitted to the client to be considered for interview.
Client Interview
This differs depending on the role you have applied for, some roles will also require an online clinical test to be completed prior to the interview, but at Aspect our knowledgeable recruiters are here to help ensure you are fully prepared and feeling confident for your interview. We will go through the basics of what to expect and how to get ready, so you can put your best foot forward on the day of your interview.
Interview results
Once we receive your interview results, if successful we extend the offer out to you and confirm start dates and next steps. We will then confirm your offer in writing and get started on your compliance. Depending on the role you go for, some clients will do the compliance process internally. If you are unsuccessful, we will share the feedback we have received and discuss any other potential opportunities with you, providing further support.
You can typically start as a Disability Assessor within 4 to 8 weeks — but this depends on a few key factors such as: your notice period, interview availability, compliance checks, the service provider’s training schedule.
Most roles require a minimum of 1-year clinical experience, within a UK healthcare setting. However, if you are more recently qualified, get in touch with our team for a discussion as we may still be able to provide you with some support.
This will depend on which role you apply for, but some examples of the benefits our clients typically provide at present are below:
In the role of a Disability Assessor or Functional Assessor, you’ll carry out functional assessments to understand how a person’s disability or health condition affects their daily life. You will be required to produce factual reports to help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine their eligibility for receiving a benefit allowance.
Whilst the role is not clinically hands on, you will still utilise your skills and expand on them as you will work on a wide range of complex cases, involving physical and mental health conditions and chronic pain disorders. Your new employer will provide a robust training program, for which you are paid in full for your participation, and ensure you are equipped to succeed in the role.
This will vary depending on the role you apply for. It will be discussed clearly with you throughout the recruitment process by your dedicated recruitment consultant and compliance team.
Depending on the role you have applied for, your new employer may do the compliance checks internally, or our dedicated compliance team at Aspect will complete the required checks.
