Northampton, United Kingdom Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust Full time

We are looking for someone motivated and enthusiastic to help support our busy dispensary department.

We are in exciting times of change within our department. Our main objective is to increase our presence on the wards and help the hospital to give patients the best care possible. Pharmacy dispenser's are key to this as they help to ensure timely discharge by getting patients prescriptions dispensed in an efficient way. This allows ward-based staff to concentrate on the ward-based duties.

The focus of this role is to accurately perform (under the supervision of qualified staff) a range of tasks in the Dispensary, which do not require the knowledge, skills and training of a qualified Pharmacy Technician.

If you have a Boots or NPA dispensing qualification or you have previous Pharmacy experience then this post will help you develop further in your career.

Northampton General Hospital is one of the largest employers in the area and we are on an exciting journey. All of our divisions are committed to doing things better, with more efficiency as we update, modernise, and advance. We have also entered into a Group Model with neighbouring Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and become University Hospitals of Northamptonshire.
