Pharmaceutical Lecturer

**About the role**:
The University of Leicester, School of Healthcare, is planning to start a unique and class-leading MPharm program from September 2024 which will fully prepare our graduates for the foundation year and expectations to train as an independent pharmacist prescriber.

With 40 weeks of experiential learning embedded within the MPharm program and working in close partnership with both national and local providers, the University of Leicester MPharm is fully focused on the creation of patient-centred pharmacists equipped with the requisite scientific knowledge to enable evidence based professional practice and decision making. Located within a multi-professional School of Healthcare and alongside a leading School of Medicine, opportunities for multi-professional working and learning for both staff and students are exceptional. In line with all of our other healthcare professional programs, the course will be 'led by pharmacists, taught by pharmacists and delivered for pharmacists'.

**About you**:
This post provides an excellent opportunity for a pharmaceutical scientist to develop their education and training skills, whilst joining a dynamic and expanding pharmacy team at the University of Leicester. Whilst embedded in an expanding the MPharm team, the post holder will be expected to largely work autonomously and independently to lead own tasks and meet academic and professional goals.

**Additional information**:
We anticipate interviews will take place on Tuesday 26th March.
