About Pain Concern

Pain Concern is a charity providing information and support to people with pain and those who care for them, whether family, friends or healthcare professionals. Visit our website to find out more about what we do, including our Airing Pain radio programme, Pain Matters magazine, information helpline, community pain education sessions and our research and campaigning work.

All pain is unpleasant, but for the 7.8 million people in the UK living with long-term pain it is a part of everyday life. It diminishes quality of life more than any other condition, leading often to loss of work, depression and disability. Anyone at any age can develop persistent pain and you will very probably know somebody affected. Although there is usually no cure, people who receive the appropriate treatment, information and support can manage their condition effectively with life changing results

Role purpose

This non-clinical role supports our aim in delivering community Pain Education and providing information to help people in the self-management of their chronic pain.

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to raise awareness, support and coordinate our Pain Education sessions in the community.

Our organisation is committed to safe recruitment in line with the relevant legislation and guidance. Due to the nature of the role, successful applicants will be required to undertake a PVG check and will successfully complete Safeguarding, PREVENT Duty and Trauma online training. The cost of a PVG will be covered by Pain Concern.
