Are you a confident, forward-thinking pharmacy assistant looking for a new challenge? Why not consider joining our clinical pharmacy team at Christie at Macclesfield centre. You will be front and centre, talking with patients across our centre, 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.

An NVQ 2 certificate in pharmacy services is essential.

You will work closely with other members of our multi-disciplinary teams to ensure that Christie at Macclesfield patients have access to the very latest developments in oncology and haematology medicines. You will be responsible for pharmacy assistant services at Christie at Macclesfield centre, 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 at the Christie at Macclesfield 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 at Macclesfield centre, however, may be required to undertake roles and responsibilities at the main Withington site.

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.

You will make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold and help innovate to keep improve services. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of. If you are keen to make a positive contribution to the care of our patients, are enthusiastic, self
- motivated and willing to learn new skills, we would like to hear from you.
