Assessment Specialist Placement Role

What is an Assessment Specialist?

In this placement, you will join our Assessment Team in London as an Assessment Specialist. While CP+R’s training services are delivered virtually, you’ll be part of the team that conducts our in-person clinical assessments, which form the vital first step that makes our high-quality virtual care possible. From your first day, you’ll receive structured training, hands-on clinical experience, and ongoing professional support. We see this placement as the start of your journey with CP+R, as many of our former placement students have returned to join us as full-time employees after graduation.
