Assistant Technical Officer - Pharmacy Aseptic Services
Band 2
28 hours per week - Permanent
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our caring team of pharmacy assistants, technicians and pharmacists, to help deliver an efficient and effective pharmacy service to the Trust.
You will work in the pharmacy aseptic services department, supporting the safe preparation and supply of injectable medicines including cancer chemotherapy.
Experience of working in a pharmacy environment would be an advantage, however full training will be provided.
The role includes participation in the bank holiday rota, and requires the applicant to be flexible to support the requirements of the team.
Based in the North East of England we provide a range of hospital and community health services from our leading facilities, including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Blaydon urgent care centre and Bensham Hospital, all within Gateshead.
Established in 2005, we were one of the first foundation trusts in the country and since then have consistently achieved the highest levels of care for patients.
We now employ around 4,800 staff and currently provide 444 hospital beds across the Gateshead region.
Our values should be the ‘golden thread’ which runs through everything we do - they are the core of who we are. Our five values can easily be remembered by the simple acronym ICORE; Innovation, Care, Openness, Respect, Engagement.
We have a number of staff networks including the BAME network, D-Ability network, LGBTQ+ Network and the Women’s Network, to challenge us and help us to constantly improve. Our armed forces network is one of our emerging networks.
1. Assist qualified Senior Pharmacy Assistants in the preparation of sterile pharmaceutical products.

8. Replenish the stocks of consumables in the department and order new stock from the store.
9. Assist in the issue and return of laundered garments to the regional quality control laboratory.
10. Deliver prepared cytotoxics to wards and co-ordinate the removal of cytotoxic waste from the Aseptic Services Department.
