CHC Clinical Assessor
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The CHC Clinical Assessor assesses individuals for NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility and develops clear, evidence-based recommendations under the National Framework. Applicants are typically registered nurses, allied health professionals or other suitably qualified clinicians with current UK professional registration, relevant clinical experience and knowledge of complex health and social care needs. The role requires strong assessment, report-writing, communication and organisational skills, together with the ability to work fairly and sensitively with patients, families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams. Candidates are expected to understand safeguarding, confidentiality, capacity and consent, manage competing deadlines, participate in review meetings and maintain accurate records. Experience of NHS Continuing Healthcare, multidisciplinary assessments or community services is highly desirable.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
