The candidate will be supported by and will line manage a Band 7 Specialist Clinical Pharmacist and an OPMHS Band 5 pharmacy technician.

The candidate will provide training and development on medicines management in mental health, with a particular focus on older people's mental health, to junior and trainee staff, including trainee pharmacists, pre-registration pharmacy technicians and visiting trainee pharmacists.
