About the Role
Minerva, in partnership with our global client specialising in health and disability assessments, is seeking GMC-registered Medical Practitioners to join their expanding team.
This is an excellent opportunity for doctors who wish to use their clinical expertise in a new and rewarding setting, while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. If you’re looking for a career move outside of the NHS — where you can continue developing your medical knowledge, enjoy structured hours, and explore professional growth — this could be the perfect role for you.
As a Functional Assessor, you will:

  • Conduct assessments via telephone or video consultations to understand how a person’s health condition or disability affects their daily life.
  • Use your clinical judgement and communication skills to evaluate the impact of various conditions.
  • Produce factual, evidence-based medical reports that help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine eligibility for disability benefits.
  • Complete assessments typically last around 45 minutes, with comprehensive training and ongoing support provided to ensure your success.

What We’re Looking For

  • GMC-registered Doctor with a minimum of 2 years’ post-registration experience (FY2 or above).
  • Strong communication and report-writing skills.
  • Ability to work towards individual and team goals within a supportive environment.
  • Broad medical knowledge, with experience managing a range of physical and mental health conditions.

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive Salary – £72,000 per annum
  • 31 days annual leave (including Bank Holidays)
  • GMC fee reimbursement & CPD support
  • Private medical insurance & life assurance
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity packages
  • Flexible working – full-time, part-time, hybrid working
  • Comprehensive clinical training and ongoing professional development
  • Career progression opportunities across multiple clinical pathways
  • Revalidation support with GMC fees reimbursed
  • Company pension
  • Inclusive, supportive work culture – recognised Disability Confident Leader
  • Cycle to Work scheme, pension plan, wellbeing initiatives, and more

Schedule

  • Monday to Friday, 37.5hrs per week
  • No weekends, nights, or on-call commitments
  • Genuine work-life balance
