Are you looking to start an exciting new career in healthcare? Or to continue your current pharmacy career in a new environment?


We have an opportunity for the right individual to add to our team in supporting the Dispensary Service in delivering safe and efficient care.


The Dispensary is the central hub of the Pharmacy Department and has a high turnover of work from the hospital inpatient wards, hospital clinics, the surrounding Community Hospitals of Herefordshire and St Michaels Hospice.

In this post you will join the Dispensary Team which consists of a mix of ATOs, Pharmacy Technicians, Pharmacists, Student Technicians, and Trainee Pharmacists.


Hospital pharmacy is a rapidly growing area with lots of opportunities for growth and development for those looking for it.

No previous pharmacy experience is required and our current ATOs come from a diverse background of former careers.

Primarily interpret and dispense inpatient, outpatient and discharge prescriptions in accordance with department procedures. This will include oral cytotoxic prescriptions and Controlled Drugs (CD) prescriptions and requisitions.

Support the Dispensary Service in maintaining and managing its workflow.

Interacting with patients and NHS colleagues to ensure patient safety and satisfaction is maintained.

To enrol on and complete Level 2 Pharmacy Services course


Wye Valley NHS Trust is a member of an NHS Foundation Group with South Warwickshire NHS FT and the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust.


Located on the border with Wales in the shadow of the Black Mountains, we provide acute and community services across Herefordshire and into parts of Powys and run Hereford County Hospital and the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.


We are a progressive and forward looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we'd want for our family and friends.


More than 3,500 people work for the Trust - they tell us it's a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.


We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.


Russell Hardy, Trust Chairman:
"The strength of the Trust is its amazing staff; a great place to work, a great place to develop your career and a great place to reach your potential."

Our values - Care, Accountability, Respect and Excellence - are at the heart of all we do. We believe in providing the right care in the right place at the right time all the time.
