You will be an experienced and dynamic pharmacist with demonstrable knowledge and prior leadership in both the areas of Pharmacy Quality Assurance and GMP, and the desire and ability to deliver high quality pharmacy services to patients at UCLH. You will have: extensive GMP and Pharmacy Quality Assurance service experience within the NHS; excellent working knowledge of GCP and GDP requirements; GPHC registration as a pharmacist; and significant experience of dealing with the MHRA and/or other external auditing agencies. Excellent team working, communication and negotiation skills; the ability to lead the pharmacy QA team; well-developed team and lone-working skills; & an enthusiastic, flexible and professional approach are all essential.

The principal responsibilities of the post holder are to support the maintenance of the Quality Management System, to track and monitor Quality Indicators, approve new or updated product lines used within the aseptic and repack units, along with supporting the Head of Pharmacy in delivering the strategic vision for the Pharmacy Department in the safe and effective delivery of pharmaceuticals to all our patients.

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) is one of the most complex NHS trusts in the UK, serving a large and diverse population. We provide academically led acute and specialist services, to people from the local area, from throughout the United Kingdom and overseas.

We are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of many complex illnesses. UCLH specialises in women’s health and the treatment of cancer, infection, neurological, gastrointestinal and oral disease. It has world class support services including critical care, imaging, nuclear medicine and pathology.

At UCLH, we have a real ‘One Team’ ethos, and our values - safety, kindness, teamwork and improving, are central to the way we work. This is supported by our staff, who voted us as the #1 NHS Acute Trust to work for in the whole of England.

The UCLH Pharmacy QA service supports the aseptic production service, which holds a MHRA MS licence and includes aseptic units for chemotherapy and CIVAS/PN, the repack production service, which holds a MHRA MS and MIA(IMP) license, providing overlabelled repacks, kits and boxes to UCLH and a large range of external NHS Trusts, and the Brewery Road Wholesale Distributer, which holds a MHRA WDA(H) license and provides services to UCLH and a number of other external NHS Trusts and private services. In addition the service provides support to a wide range of other pharmacy services including support for the pharmacy clinical trial unit, unlicensed medicine approvals, management of pharmacy recalls, provision of temperature monitoring systems, and advice on a range of medicine or patient safety issues.

UCLH is one of the most complex NHS trusts in the UK, serving a large and diverse population from the local area and throughout the United Kingdom and overseas. The Trust mission is to deliver top-quality patient care, excellent education and world-class research across seven hospitals.

We offer our permanent staff an interest free ticket loan, a subsidised social club including gym and swimming facilities, a library for staff to use, free independent and confidential support for all staff and large retail discounts.
