Job Opportunity: Clinical Health and Neuropsychology Community Service
The service provides psychological support for adults referred to ECP who have a range of conditions including chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorder, diabetes, pulmonary disease, acquired brain injury, and neurological disorders.
Role Overview
We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic individual who will take a lead role in overseeing and delivering chronic pain pathways for patients referred primarily from musculoskeletal services. This may also include referrals from other conditions involving pain, such as chronic fatigue. The postholder will offer individual assessments, one-to-one therapeutic work, and be involved in the delivery of an evidence-based pain management programme (including working closely with a pain physiotherapist and art therapist). They will work closely with their physiotherapy colleagues to identify suitable patients for psychological intervention, promote psychologically informed practice, and provide supervision, training, and consultation on psychological aspects of pain management to other health professionals and psychologists in the service.
