NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

Are you passionate about developing yourself, others and services. We have an exciting opportunity for a pharmacy technician to join the NHS Tayside pharmacy education and training team with the remit to lead on the development, delivery and management of the education and training of pharmacy support staff, pre-registration trainee pharmacy technicians and post registration pharmacy technicians.

You will lead on the local delivery of the National Technical Apprenticeship Training Scheme for Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technicians (PTPTs) and Vocational Training Foundation Pharmacy Technician Programme. This will require working closely with NHS Education for Scotland and engaging in national professional networks to ensure that NHST meets the ongoing requirements for the scheme. You will be an expert source of information and advice for managers and assessors supporting the PTPTs.

You will line manage members of the team including Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technicians (PTPTs)

You should also hold an assessor qualification recognised by SQA or be committed to completing qualification at the earliest opportunity

This position will be ideally suited to a pharmacy technician who thrives on helping learners to maximise their learning opportunities in the workplace and who enjoys seeing others succeed.

Informal enquiries to: Deborah Stafford, or Marion Manzie @

Hours of work are: 22.3 hours per week .

Short-listed applicants will be contacted by email. Please check your emails regularly, including your junk/spam folder.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
