This is a fantastic opportunity for a self-motivated, organised person, who likes to be active, to take responsibility for the delivery of vital medicines to wards and clinics throughout the acute hospital sites.

Prior hospital or pharmacy experience is desirable but not essential as all training will be provided on the job.

This role requires a highly motivated, organised, individual to lead on the delivery of medicines from pharmacy to the wards and clinics within the acute hospital site.

The role will require you to manage your own time in order to meet delivery deadlines. Accuracy, communication skills and organisation will be required to ensure efficiency in the delivery of vital medicines.

This role suits a physically active person as there is a significant amount of heavy lifting involved in the role. Manual handling equipment will be provided, and full training will be given in the use of the equipment and in the processes to be undertaken.

We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work.

We provide safe, compassionate and high-quality care to half a million people living or visiting East Sussex. We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex, the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex. Our extensive services are provided by 7000 + members of staff working from acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye and Uckfield, over 100 community sites and in people’s own homes.

In 2020 the Care Quality Commission rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being caring and effective. The Conquest Hospital and our Community Services are rated ‘Outstanding’. Eastbourne DGH rated ‘Good’.

In 2020, the Trust launched its ambitious ‘Building for our Future’ programme. This once in a lifetime programme aims to repair, redevelop and expand our hospitals, transforming the environment in which we provide care for generations to come.
