We have a great opportunity for pharmacy technicians wishing to develop their careers as part of our progressive team, with a national reputation for innovation and development. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has a diverse and supportive clinical pharmacy team with a proven track record of providing high quality, patient-centred care. Our pharmacy technicians undertake patient-facing clinical roles, using their skills as part of a multidisciplinary team to support patients wherever they are across primary and secondary care (hospital, home, or care home).

Our team offer you a unique clinical, patient-facing role that allows pharmacy technicians to develop or maintain their skills within primary care. Where desired, our large pharmacy team can allow job plans to be structured to work across both primary and secondary care. For pharmacy technicians looking to work and develop entirely within the primary care setting, full access to acute trust teams and resources will help to enable system wide approach to patient care, and designed around you to make the most of your skill set.

We are looking for enthusiastic pharmacy technicians to support medicines optimisation across Wallsend Primary Care Network to help meet their population needs. This clinical patient-facing role will involve delivering the national agenda for primary care through medicines optimisation stewardship, enhancing medicines support for care homes and their residents, supporting patients at transitions of care and providing medicines management support and leadership across the network.

You may already be a pharmacy technician working in general practice or an experienced pharmacy technician ready to take the next step in your career. You will be enrolled in (or have qualified from) the CPPE primary care pharmacy education training pathway that will equip you for this role.

We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, covering one of the largest geographical areas of any NHS trust in the country. Leading in innovation and quality - opening a state of the art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England.

In addition to acute hospital pharmacy services we provide pharmacists and technicians to four of our local primary care networks with a combined population of 190,000. We also deliver locally commissioned integrated pharmacy services to care homes, frailty, living well with pain, palliative care and other national priorities such as CVD prevention/research.
