Open day to find new NHS PIP assessors

NHS Lanarkshire is hosting an open recruitment afternoon on Wednesday, 22 March to find a team of Clinical Assessors.

The Salus PIP service is an NHS Lanarkshire service that delivers face to face Personal Independence Payment assessments to claimants. The service is delivered locally from high quality assessment centres throughout the West of Scotland and Edinburgh city centre.

The PIP service offers a fresh challenge for nurses, physiotherapists, OT’s and paramedics who have over two years’ experience. The role is a Band 6 and the working hours are Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.

Successful applicants will be given full training and on-going support through a team of dedicated managers. Professional and personal development is ongoing, enhancing existing skills and encouraging peer support and mentoring.

You will take part in an eight week coaching programme and be given in-house training support to develop your skills, gaining the knowledge you require to meet the quality standards required to ensure you’re providing the best possible service for our claimants.

Opportunities for development also include NHS training in a variety of topics including Equality and Diversity and Protection of Vulnerable Adults.

The open afternoon will be held at Salus PIP Service, 348 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G2 8LX from 3pm to 6pm on Wednesday, March 22.
