Job Overview
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a flexible, dynamic, experienced, and capable Chartered Physiotherapist to undertake the role of Clinical Specialist in Chronic Pain Management within the East area of North Wales.
Pain Services have long embraced a multi-professional approach to managing chronic pain. Physiotherapy is one of a number of professions which bring a comprehensive skill-set to the clinical team and plays a key role in the delivery of pain management techniques and approaches within the Health Board.
The post holder will be expected to work as an autonomous clinical specialist practitioner, with an extended scope of physiotherapy practice to work within a team to deliver a clinical specialist service to patients referred to the chronic pain service.
Support and teaching of Pain Team members and other therapy colleagues from the wider services is required of the role.
The physiotherapy service in BCUHB offers a whole career pathway to Band 8A as a clinical advanced practitioner. Service improvement and development is encouraged, and all staff have access to regular supervision and training.
This is an opportunity to work in a large, established, and supportive team in a beautiful part of the UK.

- Development and delivery of a high-quality service within the own Physiotherapy sub-specialism across BCUHB
- Assessment and management of complex patients
- Developing opportunities for practice which extend the scope of traditional physiotherapy
- Training and support of physiotherapists and support staff to deliver high-quality, evidence-based service provision
- Governance arrangements within the sub-specialty area
