Job overview

Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust is delighted to invite applications for two Consultant Anaesthetist posts with a specialist interest in Pain Management service. These posts reflect our commitment to expanding and enhancing our pain services in line with rising demand and innovation. Applicants with either dual interests in Anaesthesia and Pain or those wishing to practice Pain Medicine exclusively are welcome to apply.

These roles offer a unique opportunity to contribute to a large, dynamic, and multidisciplinary team at one of the UK’s most forward-thinking NHS trusts. Based primarily at the new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH) and the City Health Campus, the posts combine clinical excellence, innovation, and service development in an environment that fosters wellbeing, flexibility, and professional growth.

There are ample opportunities to develop personal interest in, amongst other things, management, governance, peri-operative medicine, service development and education and training. Our new hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, has been successfully running for nearly a year and hence the post holders must understand the ongoing changes within the trust service and be prepared to contribute actively to the process. ”Sustainability” is at the heart of everything we do and have various project streams. New ideas and experience in this area will be highly welcomed.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in the delivery and advancement of our expanding Pain Management Service. They will be responsible for providing high-quality, evidence-based care to patients living with complex chronic pain conditions. Clinical duties will include running multidisciplinary team (MDT) pain clinics, performing interventional procedures under fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance, and conducting virtual consultations as part of our modern, flexible care model. In addition to their pain management responsibilities, the appointee will undertake anaesthetic sessions tailored to their sub-specialty interests and aligned with service demands.

The postholder will be actively involved in shaping new and emerging services, such as the Medicine Optimization Management (MOM) clinic, Adolescent Pain Service, Pelvic Pain MDTs, and the SCAT (Spinal Cord Assessment & Treatment) clinic. T

Pain clinics are supported by a fully integrated MDT approach involving APPs, psychologists, physiotherapists, and nurse specialists, ensuring that patients receive holistic and personalised care. In addition to the clinical excellence demonstrated across all services, the department was recognised nationally as the BMJ Anaesthesia and Peri-operative Team of the Year, and our Critical Care Unit has been rated “Outstanding” by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) — one of only a handful of such services in the UK.
