The HCPC is seeking experienced Case managers/Case officers who genuinely care about protecting the public and upholding regulatory standards across healthcare to join their Fitness to Practise team. We currently have a few permanent and fixed term contract roles (12 months Fixed term contracts) that we are recruiting to and we are particularly interested in applicants who can start immediately or on very short notice.

• Working constructively with our external stakeholders to ensure that your cases are proactively progressed in line with our policies, guidance and processes.

• Accurately assessing the risk presented in fitness to practise cases and ensuring that high-risk cases are quickly identified, prioritised and progressed for an Interim Order in line with service standards and key performance indicators.

• Analysing information and making sound, evidence-based decisions on the progression or conclusion of cases, ensuring any changes in risk are quickly identified as the case progresses and develops.
