Job Overview

We are seeking a dedicated and motivated Clinical Pharmacy Specialist to become a vital member of our collaborative pharmacy team.

Our team is committed to providing comprehensive pharmaceutical services to mental health and community health sectors, focusing on adults and the elderly.

While experience in mental health is preferred, we welcome applicants who are eager to transition into this specialty and will provide the necessary support for that journey.

The successful candidate will be required to participate in a Trust-wide 'out-of-hours' service, collaborating with fellow mental health pharmacists. This role necessitates the ability to travel to the workplace during non-standard hours.

Key Responsibilities

We are looking for an individual who can make a positive impact on the clinical management of patients facing mental health challenges. The chosen candidate will work alongside multidisciplinary teams to ensure the safe and effective use of medications and will support numerous outpatients through various services.

The role includes contributing to the clinical pharmacy services for all inpatient units and the dispensary. Responsibilities will also encompass addressing medication information inquiries, engaging in clinical trials, and developing policies and procedures. We expect the individual to deliver tailored, patient-centered pharmaceutical care to all who require it across the service.

About Our Organization

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is dedicated to delivering high-quality health and social care with compassion, aiming to enhance the health and well-being of those we serve while empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.

Our clinical teams provide a wide range of NHS services, not only in inpatient and primary care settings but also within the community. These services encompass mental and physical health for children, adults, and the elderly, as well as forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care, liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, and research and development.

To fulfill our mission, we seek to recruit exceptional candidates who align with our vision and values. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage applications from all community sectors, particularly from underrepresented groups, including individuals with disabilities and members of ethnic minorities and LGBTQ+ communities.
