PFAS nursing jobs and pay

PFAS jobs for registered clinicians (you might be a nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or paramedic) require you to speak with members of the public who have claimed for Personal Independence Payments (known as PIPs) or Work Capability Assessments (known as WCAs) because through disability, illness or other conditions they are unable to work or lead a life that functions without impact.

PFAS offers Functional Assessor jobs for nurses in locations across the UK.

I’ve worked in many roles during my time on PIP and worked with lots of amazing people. PFAS became my work family in 2024 and I feel privileged to be part of a such a fantastic team who’s values align with mine!”
