- Support issuing officers in identifying applicants who require formal assessment.
- Communicate assessment outcomes clearly and appropriately using established systems and processes.
- Contribute to complaint investigations and appeals relating to Blue Badge decisions as directed by the Team Manager.
- Ensure assessments are delivered sensitively, taking account of cultural, social, linguistic, and religious needs.
