What you’ll be doing as a physiotherapist

Day-to-day, you’ll carry out assessments to understand how a person's disability or health condition affects their daily life. You’ll listen sensitively to their experiences, ask questions and use your insights to produce a factual report to help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine their eligibility for benefits. It’s important work that has a big impact on real lives, so we’ll make sure you get the time you need with each customer so you can deliver a quality and respectful service.

It’ll be challenging at times, but we’ll support you to manage your caseloads efficiently to deliver the best service for our customers.
