PIP assessor roles: pay, hours, what’s involved – and could I work from home?

Nurses are often recruited to PIP (personal independence payment) assessor roles. They will use their clinical knowledge to conduct functional assessments of individuals living with disability or a long-term health condition wishing to claim the PIP benefit. Working hours for PIP assessors are typically nine-to-five with flexibility about home-working. Assessment interviews may be in-person or carried out by phone or video call. Read about starting salaries and salary ranges, why the career might be attractive to someone with a nursing background, and whether any negative connotations are justified.
