NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

Opportunities exist for pharmacists that wish to specialise in QA and gain experience within industry at NHS Scotland Pharmaceutical Specials Service (NHSS PSS).

Applications are welcomed from registered Pharmacists. Candidates would benefit from experience and/or knowledge of GMP / GCP, pharmaceutical manufacture, aseptic dispensing or quality assurance, however this is not essential. Full training will be provided to the successful candidate(s).

This contract is for a fixed term for a period of six months as a temporary contract or secondment. The reason for the fixed term contract is to provide temporary cover on a part-time or full-time basis. It is also possible for interested candidates to work flexible hours via a bank contract.

Written approval must be sought from your line manager prior to applying for this secondment. You will be required to bring this if shortlisted for interview.

We invite interested candidates to visit the facility and speak with team members. Please contact:

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
