    Description

    Job summary

    We are looking for an experienced and motivated lead pharmacy technician to support in the development and expansion of pharmacy services across the Durham & Tees Valley (DTV) care group.

    You will be working alongside the lead pharmacist for DTV community services to deliver medicines optimisation activities to community mental health teams, Primary Care Networks and wider partners.

    This role is available initially on a fixed term. It is anticipated that successful implementation of the role will result in on-going funding.

    Main duties of the job

    You will be responsible for providing line management and professional supervision for a group of senior pharmacy technicians working in the care group.

    This is a new role and you will have the opportunity to co create new ways of working and improve the patient journey throughout the interfaces of care.

    This role will provide clinical leadership and be part of the Pharmacy Leadership Team, as well as directly delivering medicines management activities to Darlington Adult Mental Health community teams.

    Due to the nature of the role, the post holder will need to be capable of independent travel across the care group area and have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes, as travel to various community sites will be expected.

    The post holder will be assigned a community team base and this can be agreed at interview.

    The role is full time, but part time applications will be considered.

    About us

    The Pharmacy team in TEWV has over 100 team members including drivers, pharmacy assistants, administration, nurses, pharmacy technicians and pharmacists. Individual team members are spread across multiple sites, with a dispensary in each of our 3 localities. The locality teams work independently, but come together to agree standards and best practice, learning from each other and trying to improve.

    We developed a 5-year Medicines Optimisation and Pharmacy Framework which was created with the teams to produce a shared set of themes and priorities.

    The Trust is currently working with staff and partners to deliver the Community Mental Health Transformation programme (CMHTP). This is a five-year programme, driven by the NHS England Long Term Plan, that looks at the needs of local populations and how organisations can move towards a more joined up approach to services to improve the lives of people living with mental health illnesses.

    This is an exciting time to be involved in the transformation of how mental health services are delivered in the community and you will be instrumental in providing medicines management and optimisation services for the benefit of service users and the wider local population, as well as supporting our wider partners in primary care.
