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 the renal team on a rotational basis at the Churchill Hospital.

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

  • Opportunity to work in both ward and dispensary area.
  • Work in reception area taking in prescriptions
  • Delivery of high-quality pharmacy services for out-patients

You will be expected to form good working relationships with staff from all the different groups within the Clinical and Pharmacy team.
  • You should ideally have experience of working as a qualified Pharmacy Dispensing Assistant, using computer systems for dispensing and stock control and have good communication, be well organised and able to use your own initiative.
  • This post would suit somebody with either a hospital pharmacy background, or with community pharmacy experience wishing to make a change into the hospital environment, for which appropriate training will be provided.
