Paramedics – Ready to Hang Up the Ambulance Uniform? Become a PIP Functional Assessor in Aylesbury
HCPC Registered Paramedics
Hybrid Working | Monday–Friday | 9am–5pm
Take Your Paramedic Career in a New Direction! You’ve spent your career responding to emergencies, assessing patients under pressure and making critical clinical decisions. But have you considered using those skills in a completely different clinical environment?
We’re recruiting experienced Paramedics to join Serco as PIP Functional Assessors in Aylesbury.
This is an excellent opportunity to step away from the demands of frontline ambulance services, unpredictable shifts and physically demanding work, while continuing to utilise the clinical knowledge and assessment skills you’ve worked hard to develop.
Why Would This Role Suit a Paramedic?
Your experience in emergency care has equipped you with many of the skills needed to become a successful Functional Assessor.
As a PIP Functional Assessor, you’ll use your clinical expertise to understand how an individual’s physical and mental health conditions affect their everyday life, particularly their daily living activities and mobility.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Carrying out structured assessments with individuals experiencing a variety of health conditions.
- Gathering detailed medical histories and reviewing clinical evidence.
- Exploring how physical and mental health conditions impact everyday functioning.
- Assessing mobility, physical capabilities and daily living activities.
- Applying your clinical reasoning and professional judgement to produce accurate, evidence-based reports for the DWP.
Your ability to assess patients, recognise symptoms, manage complex presentations and make informed clinical decisions will be highly transferable.
No emergency call-outs, no blue lights and no hands-on patient care!
Why Choose this PIP Opportunity? This opportunity offers some additional advantages to help you settle into your new career and progress through the training process.
- Faster Approval Process: Benefit from a quicker approval pathway, helping you progress through training and into your new role sooner.
- Quicker Access to the Bonus Scheme: An opportunity to access the bonus scheme sooner, rewarding your progress and performance.
- Personalised Training Support: Receive hands-on guidance and dedicated support throughout your training, with experienced colleagues on hand to help you build confidence.
- 12 Weeks of Fully Paid Training: Develop the specialist knowledge and assessment skills needed to succeed, with ongoing support throughout your learning journey.
What’s in It for You?

- Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm.
- No nights, weekends or bank holidays.
