Chichester, United Kingdom University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job overview

We welcome applications from band 7s looking to enhance or begin their careers in cancer services. Alternatively, if you are a band 6 with a minimum of 6 months hospital experience, working towards a post graduate certificate all you will need is a keen interest in oncology. In this situation we can provide the opportunity for a 6 to 7 progression post based on a the UHSussex Band 6-7 Clinical Rotational Progression Programme.

Oncology experience is desirable but not essential. All the necessary training will be provided as you rotate through adult and paediatric oncology and technical services.

You will have the opportunity to develop clinical and managerial skills in every facet of pharmaceutical care required to deliver a clinical oncology pharmacy service.

Cancer services is a continuously growing area and we have a truly successful cancer services rotation with previous post holders being promoted to 8A Advanced Oncology Pharmacists. 

Main duties of the job

Within each rotation, you will be presented with an exciting and unique opportunity to work with a dedicated multi-disciplinary team, with the ability to make a significant contribution to medicines management for patients within the oncology service as well as play an integral role in the governance frameworks for the unit ranging from procedure and guideline writing to authoring of chemotherapy prescriptions on the Chemocare® prescribing system.

We have the infrastructure and support for applicants to continue with the Joint Programme Board Postgraduate Diploma in General Pharmacy Practice and you will be provided with an educational supervisor to complete this post graduate qualification. The post holder will also manage a band 6 pharmacist providing the opportunity to build on managerial skills.

You will be working alongside our highly experienced pharmacists who are well respected within the Trust with many recognised nationally and internationally for their expertise within their specialist areas. The Pharmacy department has established links with the University of Brighton, University of Sussex, Brighton & Sussex Medical School and University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia as part of the Brighton-Lusaka Health Link.

At UHSussex, diversity is our strength, and we want you to feel included to help us always put the Patient First. Your uniqueness and experiences will be part of our creative and innovative community where everyone is encouraged to succeed. We have a range of Staff Networks to help break down barriers, and can offer a buddy to help new members settle in. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Employer (Level 2) and a Veteran Aware Trust.

This can be seen in our Wellbeing Programme for staff which is extensive and designed to support you when you need it, including where possible, flexible working to support work life balance - because we know that to look after others we must first look after ourselves. 

As a university trust and a leader in healthcare research, we value learning, teaching and training so that we can be the best that we can be. From the moment you start with us and throughout your career we will help you to grow and develop. We hope that in choosing UHSussex you are choosing a long and happy career where you will be able to see the difference you make and feel valued for all that you do.
