We are currently looking to recruit a highly motivated, enthusiastic pharmacy assistant to join our Trust pharmacy team to work alongside a multi-disciplinary team in providing a high-quality service to patients and colleagues.

You will support the satellite dispensary facilitating medication requirements for chemotherapy patients at the Christie at Macclesfield centre.

You will be a strong team player with effective interpersonal, communication and organisational skills as well as a keen interest and enthusiasm for patient focussed services and continual improvement.

The post holder will be based at the Christie at Macclesfield centre, however, may be required to undertake roles and responsibilities at the main Withington site.

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients and staff, ensuring we keep thriving and delivering outstanding healthcare right across the organisation.

You will have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet wonderful people, and do things you may never have done. You will learn about working in a hospital environment, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills and enhance your career path. We are focused on your future, working together to make our pharmacy the best place to work.

You will make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold and help innovate to keep improve services. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of. If you are keen to make a positive contribution to the care of our patients, are enthusiastic, self
- motivated and willing to learn new skills, we would like to hear from you.
