If you are interested in an informal discussion about the Pharmacy Assistant role offered within our team then I would be very pleased to chat with you. You are more than welcome to call on the numbers below or even better, we can make an appointment for me to show you around and answer your questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

As a Senior Clinical Trials Pharmacy Assistant in our team, you will have an extremely varied role - you will be involved in maintaining the supply chain of Clinical Trial medications to research nurses who deliver treatment to patients, maintaining financial records, completing drug accountability activities, closing down and archiving of completed studies, as well as facilitating meetings from sponsors.

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.
