Position Overview

We are seeking a dedicated and skilled pharmacist with extensive experience in clinical pharmacy, quality enhancement, and innovative practices to advance their career in a senior capacity within our vibrant pharmacy team. This role offers leadership to the clinical units within our Specialised and Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), presenting a unique opportunity to engage in the commissioning and establishment of new services within the organization.

The successful candidate will play a crucial role in supporting the established specialist pharmacist prescriber positions within the AWP Specialised Services and will actively pursue opportunities to broaden the pharmacy workforce in these specialized areas.

  • Lead the creation, implementation, and assessment of clinical pharmacy services throughout the Trust.
  • Foster a skilled, motivated, and adaptable clinical pharmacy workforce, managed within existing budgets and supported by technology, robust governance, and risk management.
  • Collaborate with the Chief Pharmacist, Deputy Chief Pharmacist, and other Clinical Lead Pharmacists to ensure the delivery of strategic plans and the safe, efficient, and effective use of resources.
  • Assist Trust leadership groups with all matters related to medication optimization, supporting broader Trust requirements concerning CQC, GPhC, NICE, and NHS England.
  • Oversee the Locality Lead Pharmacists and Specialist Pharmacists in SSC to provide clinical services and medication optimization, including audits and monitoring.
  • Take the lead in delivering and advancing robust and progressive medication optimization initiatives.
  • Engage with commissioners and the multidisciplinary team on service arrangements, including shared care and new service developments.
  • Provide coverage for other Clinical Lead Pharmacists during their absence.
  • Act as a deputy for the Deputy or Chief Pharmacist as required.
