Overview
A Vacancy at Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust. This is an exciting new opportunity to recruit a full or part time Consultant in Pain Medicine, to provide all medical aspects of pain management in Dorset Pain Management Service (DPMS).
This role allows the successful candidate to work flexibly as part of our team and support the wider multi-disciplinary team using our biopsychosocial approach. This well-established model enables people living with persistent pain to lead meaningful lives which has been demonstrated by our continuous assessment of outcome measures and patient feedback.
The DPMS has a high expectation of continuous service development which is co-produced with our Experts by Experience. Current examples of service developments include interconnected pathways with Dorset MSK services, acute hospital partners and increasing efficiency for procedure in community hospitals.

Our team consists of 40 individuals, including Pain Consultants, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Psychologists, Pharmacist and Occupational Therapists, Mental Health Nurses, ably supported by our Assistants, Admin staff, Managers and Commissioners.
We do things differently here – it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019.

We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.
Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
For the main duties and responsibilities for this role please read the attached job description and person specification. When completing your application please ensure your supporting statement reflects the criteria set out in these documents by showing how your experience and skills apply to this post.
We understand that using AI can be a useful and supportive tool when completing your application. However, we have also seen an increase in the over-reliance of AI tools which is negatively impacting applications as they remove candidate’s individuality, and it becomes much harder to get a sense of who you are and your authentic experience. If you do use AI, it should be used to enhance your application and not to create your supporting statement in its entirety. If we suspect you have used AI to create your supporting statement and this does not match your experience, we may withdraw your application.
As part of our vision to have a skilled, diverse and caring workforce, Dorset HealthCare offers support for people getting into work. We offer an employability service to support individuals with application writing, interview skills and other employment support. If you would like or know of anyone who would value this support, please do contactdhc.wideningparticipation@nhs.net
