Working on our brand-new flagship contract, we are supporting the Victims’ Payment Board (VPB) in delivery of the clinical assessment service for the new Troubles Permanent Disablement Payment Scheme.  We are now recruiting for experienced nurses & allied health professionals who have expertise in a mental health or psychiatric background with more than two years’ post registration experience.

Based mainly from home, you will manage your own portfolio of cases, assessing clients in their homes, in one of our clinics or remotely via telephone/virtual assessments.
