For clinicians seeking a sustainable next chapter — whether advancing leadership, consolidating an academic career, returning home from overseas or redefining late‑career practice — this position offers the chance to do meaningful, high‑quality work in an environment where impact is visible and professional contribution is truly valued, complemented by Jersey’s exceptional quality of life and work–life balance.
Bring your expertise to Jersey’s highly regarded Multidisciplinary Pain Service as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist / Psychology Lead, combining professional autonomy and clinical leadership with the chance to make a tangible difference to people living with persistent pain.
