We are looking for a passionate, caring and self motivated pharmacy technician to join our Surgical & Critical Care Team at Kent and Canterbury Hospital. We have two posts available, one working on our elective orthopaedics ward and the other working on our vascular and urology wards. Both posts also have the opportunity to spend time working on our ITU and HDU wards as well which means you can really feel you make a difference to our patients.

This post will be suitable as a training post for a band 4 Pharmacy Technician to progress to a band 5 once training and objectives are completed.

**The main responsibilities will include**:

- Completing detailed lists of medications a patient was taking prior to admission and reconciling this with the medications prescribed on the chart.
- Evaluating suitability of patient's own drugs for use whilst in the hospital environment.
- To participate in the discharge planning of patients with ward staff and other healthcare professionals both in secondary and primary care.
- To counsel patients on new or changed medication to help promote compliance.
- Completing audits.
- Supporting governance work for the ITU and surgery care groups.

You must be an excellent communicator with outstanding interpersonal and relationship building skills. You will need to be forward thinking and enthusiastic, with a commitment to continuing professional development. You must have a strong passion for improving patient care, be a good problem solver and self-motivated.

We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 695,000 people.

Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: ‘People feel cared for, safe, respected and confident that we are making a difference’.

We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called ‘We care’. It’s about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We’re looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
