Job summary

Were proud that our workforce - our greatest asset - strives for excellence every day in providing care and support to thousands of people living across Wakefield and North Kirklees. Mid Yorkshire celebrates excellence and innovation. We have modern, state-of-the-art facilities and provide first class learning and development opportunities. Mid Yorks is transforming, grounded in our values to care and improve, respecting our patients, our community and our staff, to deliver the highest standards of care.

If you are a dynamic, innovative and forward-thinking clinician with a passion for your profession and an enthusiasm to be part of a Trust striving to be the best, get in touch to see what a career at Mid Yorkshire could be like for you.

The department of Anaesthesia, Pain and Intensive Care at Mid Yorkshire consists of sixty-one consultant anaesthetists and sixty trainees, specialty doctors, MTIs and Trust registrars. We provide Anaesthetic & Pain services over 3 sites (Pinderfields, Dewsbury and Pontefract) with the acute surgery, obstetric and intensive care services based at Pinderfields (Wakefield). We are a large Trust with all the major surgical specialties and a Regional Burns Centre which provides the opportunity for sub-specialty interests and a passionate support for regional anaesthesia. We have a new Day-case Surgical Hub opening soon on the Dewsbury site, where we plan to deliver additional Pain services too.

Main duties of the job

Main duties of the post will include:

1. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team including consultants, physiotherapists, and specialist nurses to co-ordinate patient-centred management plans including medication, rehabilitative physiotherapy, invasive procedures and psychological approaches across Primary and Secondary care. You will be expected to signpost to resources within Primary care.

2. Outpatient clinics assessing and working with patients to help manage chronic pain. This will include both assessing new patients and review of those already within the service. The balance between these may vary according to the needs of the service at any time. It is essential to formulate individual patient plans as patients may be reviewed by other members of the team.

3. Treatment clinics including a wide range of X-ray and ultrasound guided procedures which will be delivered at Pontefract Hospital in a dedicated pain unit or at Dewsbury Hospital in our new day-case facility (due to open Summer 2024) with nursing and radiology support.

4. Working collaboratively with patients to agree management plans including resources within Pain Management and Primary Care.

5. Keeping patients, referrers and Primary Care practitioners informed of agreed plans, progress and future possibilities. You will be expected to communicate results of any investigations ordered in a timely manner and refer patients onward for any treatment that cannot be provided by the service.

About us

We provide care and support to over a million people in Wakefield and Kirklees in their homes, community settings and across our three hospital sites at Pontefract, Dewsbury and Pinderfields (Wakefield).

Always striving for excellence, we are at the forefront of innovation and research, and we invest in teaching and the development of our workforce.

We live by our values of caring, improving, being respectful and maintaining high standards. We listen and learn because we aim to make Mid Yorkshire the best place to work and receive care.

We value diversity and welcome talent and enthusiasm irrespective of age, disability, neurodivergence, sex, gender identity and gender expression, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or other personal circumstances including providing unpaid carers support to someone with a health and care need. As ethnic minority groups, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people with a disability/neurodivergence are currently under-represented across the organisation, we encourage applications from members of these groups. We have policies and procedures to ensure all applicants are treated fairly and consistently.

We are proud of our staff networks - who offer valuable guidance and feedback from those with lived experience.

We have a clear vision and you could be part of this! If you share our values and you want to make a difference to the lives of our patients and their families and carers, we would love to hear from you.
