An excellent opportunity has arisen for a pharmacy assistant to gain oncology experience within our team. The position is currently based at the Maidstone site however as the service is consolidated at both sites, this post is a trust wide position.

We are looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic, highly motivated and versatile technician with excellent communication and organisational skills to join our pro-active team.

**Duties will include**:
Using the departmental electronic prescribing system (ARIA) and JAC dispensing program to dispense outpatient and supportive medications, including oral anti-cancer treatment (SACT’s), High Cost Drugs and Immunoglobulin therapy.

Maintenance of stock including ordering of patient-specific High Cost Drugs to ensure patients receive their medication in a timely manner.
