Psychologist – Clinical Lead (Pain Management Service)
We are thrilled to offer an exciting opportunity for a motivated and experienced Psychologist to join our Pain Management team in North East Essex, part time 22.5 hours per week. You will be responsible for managing a complex clinical caseload and providing clinical leadership within the service. As the Clinical Lead, you will guide the direction of patient care, oversee service delivery, and ensure the highest standards of practice, all while leading a committed multidisciplinary team to provide exceptional patient-centered care.
You will need significant experience in pain management services with strong clinical leadership experience and the ability to focus on guiding and supporting the team to deliver exceptional patient care. Using your excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills, you will foster a collaborative and supportive team environment.
You will be supported in your continuous professional development (CPD), evidence-based practice, and participation in undergraduate and postgraduate education, including access to in-service training.
If you are an experienced Psychologist with a passion for pain management and leadership, and you are ready to take on a key role in shaping and leading a patient-centered service, we encourage you to apply.
You will be required to travel to clinic venues in Colchester and Clacton; therefore, you will require a valid driver’s license and access to a car.
