We have an exciting opportunity for a Science and Research Officer to join our team. You will contribute to the management and coordination of science and research services, resources, and activities delivered by the RPS.

  • Excellent writing skills, with experience of producing reports, guidance, blog posts, and communications tailored to a range of audiences.
  • Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.

The Team
Robust evidence ensures that safe, high-quality treatments and interventions are available to patients and the public. As a team, we are passionate about promoting science and research in pharmacy, and believe all pharmacy professionals should engage in, support and lead research. Our aim is to improve health outcomes for patients by providing effective science and research support and guidance to our members. We work closely with other teams across the RPS and our stakeholders, and we do this empathetically and collaboratively to ensure we can provide the most accurate and up to date advice and information.

How We Are Currently Working
RPS supports and works in a hybrid way, which means you will be able to work from home, however, there will be an expectation for collaborative face-to-face working – on average and typically this may be something between 4-8 working days per month at our London Office.
