Job overview

THIS POST IS FIXED TERM/SECONDMENT FOR 24 MONTHS DUE TO FUNDING.

Training positions are Modern Apprenticeship funded through Health Education and Improvement Wales/Welsh Government.

We have positions available across our Morriston and Cefn Coed Hospital sites (candidates are asked to consider their preferred base site and state this in their application form or at interview, if appropriate).

Pharmacy technicians develop a high level of expertise in relation to medicines and health and they work as part of healthcare teams in hospitals, manufacturing units, community pharmacies and GP practices. They focus on management and use of medicines to make sure all types of people get the best outcomes from their medicines. They lead teams delivering medicines service.

During the two-year training, provided by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) you will be expected to gain experience reflecting the changing and growing roles of the Pharmacy Technician.

Main duties of the job

The role of the Pharmacy technician is varied and interesting and continuously developing into new activity and job roles, which is why we are offering this opportunity to explore this innovative role in a rotational training programme. You will gain experience in a hospital setting dispensing for In-patients and Out-patients, Purchasing and Distribution and ward-based work.

This involves working full time (37.5 hours a week) in a pharmacy, building a portfolio of evidence, work-based assessment, on-line learning, study days and group work and following the GPhC Standards for Pharmacy Professionals.

A commitment to studying outside working hours is essential as well as an ability to meet the deadlines set during your training programme. Experience of working effectively both in a team and independently and previous pharmacy experience are desirable but not essential for this post.

Further information related to the Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technician training programme can be found across UEA (Certificate of Higher Education for Pharmacy Practice Qualification) and HEIW websites.
