During the training, you will still be on your learning curve, so we audit every report to ensure they meet the specified standard and claimants receive the best possible service. This position is well-suited to those who are happy to receive constructive feedback and are keen to keep learning. You dislike writing reports: All clinicians are competent assessors, however reports need to be completed to a high standard too.
