The GPwSI will be expected to undertake patient assessment, formulate management pathways to support complex patients with persistent pain and liaise with referrers and stakeholders out with the service as required.

The post is for 3.5 PA’s per week (14 hours). Flexible or reduced hours may be negotiated.

The Trust serves a catchment area with a population of 380,000 across Fife.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application—but your answers must be your own.

• Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
• Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
• Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.

Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you—not an AI tool.
