Main duties of the job
The role will work with a wide range of stakeholders in health and care to deliver pharmacy and medicines optimisation projects. Experience in variety of settings (, primary care/ secondary/ community/ health and justice) and/ or leadership role is essential. There is also the potential opportunity for the post holder to act as a pharmacy subject matter expert, working on wider SCW projects.

The tasks and projects/clinical areas that the team is involved in are varied - so the ideal candidate will need to have a can-do attitude; ability to work alone diligently as well as in a team; and be willing to work on a variety of projects and/or tasks that may be outside of their comfort zone.
You will be working within a challenging NHS environment and will need to be highly adaptive, flexible, and autonomous.
There are a range of sites within the SCW footprint, and it is possible for the working base for this role to be agreed to suit the ideal candidates.
