Pharmacist

Looking to use your skills in a new clinical area or pharmacy sector?

Have you considered working in oncology at UK’s fourth largest cancer centre?...

About the job

We are once again expanding our successful, friendly outpatient pharmacy team, and are searching for a pharmacist who is looking to expand their clinical knowledge into hospital specialities and use it each day without having to work on a ward.

This role is suitable for newly qualified pharmacists, as well as more established pharmacists who are looking for a change of sector from community or hospital pharmacy practice. Clinically we cover a diverse range of hospital-based specialities, particularly paediatrics, emergency medicine, rheumatology, gastroenterology and ophthalmology, as well as serving the UK’s fourth largest cancer centre. There is an opportunity for the right candidate to choose whether to focus on oncology practice, or non-oncology.

The role is for 40-hours a week, Monday to Friday – there is no weekend, late-night or Bank Holiday working. The annual salary will be on or around £46,000 depending on experience, and part-time applications are welcomed.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an outpatient hospital pharmacy that has a focus on patient safety and experience. You will be working in a busy and supportive environment, providing a patient-centred service, whilst maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The role is perfect for pharmacists seeking a new challenge, and particularly suits those with a strong focus on patient care and an ability to develop solid working relationships with doctors, nurses and the wider healthcare team.
