Description

I am very keen to hear from you if you are an experienced Pharmacy Assistant looking to expand your skillset with a move from Community into Hospital Pharmacy, or are looking to progress further in your career within a Hospital setting.

Ideally you will have obtained your Specialist BTEC Level 2 Principles and Practices for Pharmacy Support Staff Pharmacy Service Skills NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent GPhC recognised qualification), although this is not essential and support through the qualification process can be provided (successful applicants who do not hold the required qualification will be paid at band 2, rising to band 3 on successful completion of the qualification).

Many of our staff progress from this level to become Pharmacy Technicians or take other roles within the wider Pharmacy team.

This position is a blended role involving both the dispensary, and multidisciplinary working with various clinical teams on a rotational basis.

The Dispensary team are supported by ever evolving Technology, with electronic prescribing and a robot to support the labelling and dispensing of medications.

The successful applicant will be trained in the full use of the robotic system.

Key duties of this role include dispensing medicines according to procedure, using the Pharmacy computer system to produce dispensing labels, preparation of emergency drug boxes, maintaining accurate medication records and assisting in efficient stock control management.
