    Permanent
    Description

    Job summary

    We are looking for an enthusiastic and well-motivated senior pharmacy assistant to assist the Pharmacy Distribution Services Manager and Head of Pharmacy Operations with the provision of pharmacy distribution services to patients and staff across the Outsourced Dispensaries at UCLH.

    The successful candidate will work with the senior staff at PB&DC to assist with the overall running of the service to Lloyds and in establishing the distribution service as an NHS best practice reference site.

    Main duties of the job

    Key responsibilities will be:

  • To ensure the supply of medicines to the outsourced UCH dispensaries in a safe, effective and timely manner.
  • To chase complicated and problematic to-follows orders every day, liaising with various internal and external teams as deemed necessary to expedite the orders.
  • To be flexible and adjust their daily work plan to accommodate resources needed to process incoming to-follows stock.

  • To efficiently use the pharmacy computer system to manage stock control and assist in the maintenance of accurate stock levels and investigations for stock level discrepancies.
  • This job is based in a warehouse environment, not a Hospital. You must be physically fit to be on your feet all day and move very heavy stock as required throughout the day.
