Production Manager – Technical Services
Fixed term until November 2026. An experienced and highly motivated individual is required to join our well‑established team in Pharmacy Technical Services to cover the secondment of one of the Production Managers.
The MHRA licensed ‘Specials’ pharmacy manufacturing unit is based at the Royal Stoke University Hospital, a modern purpose‑built unit within the hospital. The service encompasses aseptic, chemotherapy and pre‑pack (over‑labeling and repackaging products) supplying both the Trust and external organisations. The department constantly strives to re‑engineer services to improve patient‑focused pharmaceutical care and customer satisfaction.
Working with the Production Manager you will:
* Proactively contribute to further develop the service through audit and the development of business cases in response to local and national demand in line with the NHS Infusions and Specials Medicines Board.
* Assist in the operation, maintenance and development of the quality management system and prepare for and participate in inspections and audits by the MHRA or other regulatory authorities.
* Manage, along with the production manager and lead technicians, the production unit providing technical support and guidance.
* Act as a releasing officer across all production areas, ensuring compliance with the terms of the MHRA licence at all times.
This is a great time to be part of the Pharmacy Technical Services Team at UHNM.
