You will be front and centre, talking with patients across our wards/departments, giving you a great opportunity to be a part of the delivery of treatments in oncology.

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. Working within hospital is different to community based or other pharmacy settings so we really do welcome you to try it and see all the benefits. We know that working more closely with patients will be what really motivates you, giving you the chance to showcase and develop your knowledge. You will be supported in your training and further development by an experienced pharmacy team.

You will work closely with other members of our multi-disciplinary teams to ensure that Christie patients have access to the very latest developments in oncology and haematology medicines. You will be responsible for pharmacy assistant clinical pharmacy services on designated wards, working within our innovative clinical pharmacy team to ensure a high quality, patient-focused clinical pharmacy and medicines supply service to oncology patients which will help you to enhance your skills, knowledge, and experience to support your future career development. You will support the satellite dispensary facilitating medication requirements for chemotherapy patients on Oak Road Treatment 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 Withington site, however, may be required to undertake roles and responsibilities at the new Christie at Macclesfield site.

The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country. We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years. We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.

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
