Lead Pharmacist for Surgical Services

We are seeking a highly experienced and driven hospital pharmacist to join our Pharmacy team as our new lead for Surgical Services. The successful candidate will have excellent clinical, organisational and leadership skills, and will play a key role in shaping the future of our Pharmacy clinical services.

The role will involve teaching and developing pharmacy and other healthcare staff on optimisation of medicines, and will have key responsibilities in multiple specialities. The trust has Surgical specialities located on two acute hospital sites, with a new theatre block opened in 2023 on the Poole site and a new Surgical Admissions Unit as part of the current construction works on the Royal Bournemouth site.

Main duties of the job

As a leader in your field, you will have the support to further develop your skills as a clinician and leader. You will also have the opportunity to hone your skills and play a key role in shaping the future of our Pharmacy clinical services.

Our Pharmacy department is a welcoming and innovative team that prioritizes patient care. With a strong emphasis on teamwork and partnerships with other professions, we are committed to providing a pharmacy service focused on medicines optimization. We value and champion inclusivity and diversity, and we're open to flexible working arrangements, including part-time and job-sharing opportunities.

This role attracts a relocation package of up to £13,000 for any successful candidate moving from further than a 40 miles radius from the trust.

The job role includes working on a weekend daytime and weekday late night service as part of a rota.

About us

We recently went into partnership with Bournemouth University and, with the merger of Poole Hospital and Royal Bournemouth & Christchurch Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts in 2020 to become University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust, this is a really exciting time to join us.

Our ambitious multi-million pound plans to develop our sites are well underway, including developing RBH as the major acute and emergency hospital in East Dorset, PH as the major planned care hospital, and ambitious plans for Christchurch to support ongoing patient treatment.

With both the New Forest and Isle of Purbeck on our doorstep, over 7 miles of stunning sandy beaches and coastal paths, we are located within an area of amazing beauty providing a great place for you to achieve your rewarding work-life balance.
