Work Capacity Assessment

The Work Capacity Assessment is an in-depth assessment that explores fitness for work and work capabilities.

What is a Work Capacity Assessment?

This expert assessment clarifies how neurological symptoms, the environment, and well-being impact an individual's capabilities and work performance by outlining key strengths and challenges, risks, and support needs.

It includes a standardised sensory or cognitive assessment and an evaluation of psychological impact; this report also clarifies fitness to work and performance challenges that will influence long-term work outcomes.

The Work Capacity Assessment provides valuable insights into an individual's capabilities and risks, and an expert opinion on current and future work fitness. The assessment also examines cognitive or sensory needs, incorporating an individual personal impact evaluation and providing workplace adjustment advice.

This capacity for work assessment happens remotely (online), but in-person assessments are available dependent on clinical capacity, and additional charges will apply.

Who is a Work Capacity Assessment for?

Individuals

This assessment has been designed for working age individuals with a neurological diagnosis, and those who are suspected or confirmed to be neurodivergent. It is suitable for those who are at or absent from work.

Business Critical Role

The Work Capacity Assessment is recommended for individuals working in senior executive, executive, or business critical roles where a more detailed understanding of risk is required.

What is Included in a Work Capacity Assessment?

This assessment includes:

  • Review of medical status and current medical provision
  • Standardised impact and severity rating of neurological symptoms
  • Standardised cognitive or sensory (dependent on diagnosis) evaluation, and environmental personal impact evaluation
  • Analysis of function with an emphasis on work routine, job role, and demands
  • Exploration of strengths, challenges and values, and motivators relating to work
  • Adjustment and support recommendations
  • Recommendations regarding alternative roles

The Outcomes of your Assessment

Upon completion of the Work Capacity Assessment, the occupational therapist will have answered any key questions and concerns provided by the individual and their referrer.

The occupational therapist will have had the opportunity to understand the individual's aspirations for their future, as well as understanding what their employer wishes for them in terms of returning to work.

The individual will be given a functional impact rating which will advise whether the individual, from a functional perspective, is fit for work. Depending on this answer, the occupational therapist will make recommendations.

If an individual is not yet fit for work, it is common for the occupational therapist to recommend a neurological occupational therapy rehabilitation pathway that will help support the individual back to being fit for work.
