We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and highly motivated Registered Pharmacy Technician with a positive outlook to join our team, supporting both our Dispensary and Clinical services in ensuring that our patients receive the best care possible.

Within this role you will receive full training to become both an Accredited Checking Technician and a Ward Based Technician, allowing you to progress to band 5 on completion of both of these accreditations. These accreditations will allow you to provide the final check of medicines, and support teams with medicines reconciliation and a variety of other ward based tasks. You will also have the opportunity to develop your leadership skills, working jointly with the Pharmacy Operational team to provide key co-ordinator support to the Dispensary team.
Main duties of the job
The Pharmacy Technician role is varied, and requires flexibility in your approach to work, supporting both dispensary, stores and ward based work on the John Radcliffe Hospital site. The successful applicant will be required to assist in the smooth running of the dispensary, providing co-ordinator support to the dispensary team together with our Senior Technicians, or in the absence of the Senior Technician, and at weekends. You will support the training and induction of new members of the team, pharmacy apprentices, trainee technicians and pharmacists working alongside you.
This is a varied role including labelling and dispensing and checking duties, monitoring of workload and our tracking screen to support our TTO KPI, patient counselling and much more Ward based tasks will include assessing of patients own drugs, medicines reconciliation and one stop ordering. Excellent customer service skills are essential in this role as you will answer the phone, dealing with queries from our service users, and cover both staff and out-patient reception. Stores responsibilities include supporting ward and fluid top up services to clinical areas, receipting of deliveries and stock management processes.
We are lucky to be supported by ever evolving technology, with electronic prescribing and a robot to support the labelling and dispensing of medications. The successful applicant will be trained in the full use of the robotic system.
