The Directorate

Reporting to the Head of Professional belonging and engagement, you will work in collaboration and partnership with the other Pharmacy Professional Engagement leads, the Country teams and the RPS Ambassadors.

The three Country Directors, their respective country teams, form the directorate.

The directorate creates an operational approach that ensures the organisations strategy is delivered and work across the organisation with other functional directorates to do so.

A key part of this is engagement with members to ensure their views and opinions are represented in the work we do and with stakeholders to create strong relationships through which we can promote the work of pharmacists.

The Team

The engagement team will work together to lead the development and delivery of the RPS Regional model and to lead a programme of change across regions which will ensure the current approaches to RPS regional and local engagement embed and grow.

How we are currently working
