Why Clinicians Are Making the Switch
If you''re an NMC or HCPC-registered professional who loves the clinical side of the job but is tired of the toll shift work takes on your health, your family, and your life outside work — this is a genuine career change, not just a new job.
You''ll use the same skills you use every day — clinical reasoning, evidence analysis, communication, empathy — to assess how health conditions affect people''s daily lives, and turn that into clear, professional reports. No hands-on treatment, no physical strain, no unsociable hours.

What You''ll Be Doing

• Conducting face-to-face, phone, or video consultations with people living with a wide range of physical and mental health conditions
• Reviewing medical evidence and applying your clinical judgement to assess functional capacity
• Writing clear, objective, evidence-based reports
• Bringing empathy and professionalism to every interaction, with the highest standards of confidentiality

Pay That Actually Grows — Guaranteed No vague "performance-dependent" promises. Here''s exactly what you''ll earn:

PIP Pathway
 
Milestone                      Salary
Starting                         £40,000
6 months (on approval)  £41,000
12 months                     £42,000


WCA Pathway
 
Milestone                       Salary
Starting                          £42,000
12 months                      £43,000


Plus:

• 5% one-off bonus on approval
• Up to 10% annual performance bonus, paid quarterly
• Overtime at 1.5x pay once approved
• Optional upskilling for further salary boosts — File Handling (WCA, +£500) and Auditing (PIP & WCA, +£500)

The Work-Life Balance You''ve Been Missing

• 12 weeks fully paid training — set up for success from day one
• 50/50 hybrid working after training
• 25 days holiday + Bank Holidays, with the option to buy more
• 6% employer pension contribution
• ShareSave scheme, a paid volunteering day, wellbeing support, and lifestyle discounts

Who We''re Looking For

• Active NMC, HCPC, or GPhC registration — Nurse (RGN, RMN, RNLD), Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, Paramedic, or Pharmacist
• Minimum 1 year post-qualification clinical experience (adult experience, as you''ll assess ages 16–65)
• Strong communication, listening, and analytical skills, plus confident report writing and IT use
• Full Right to Work in the UK required (sponsorship not available)
