Once assigned a new client, you will carry out a telephone assessment to understand the employee's clinical history, presenting issues and their working environment, and where required, carry out a face-to-face assessment either in a clinic, or in their workplace to assess functional capability. You will then write an evidenced based report, which is sent to both the employee and employer to advise on recommendations and adjustments that could be made within their working environment that would facilitate their return to work, or for them to remain in work. The role does not require you to conduct multiple assessments over a period of time or complete follow ups as this is an advisory role, requiring you to complete an in-depth assessment followed by a report.
