We are looking for an experienced and motivated lead pharmacy technician to support in the development and expansion of pharmacy services across the North Yorkshire, York and Selby (NYYS) care group.
You will be working alongside the lead pharmacist for NYYS services to deliver medicines optimisation activities to inpatient and community mental health teams.
Main duties of the job
You will be responsible for providing line management and professional supervision for a group of pharmacy technicians and pharmacy assistants working in the dispensary and clinical roles in a variety of specialities and locations.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to co‑create new ways of working and improve the patient journey, by contributing to clinical and operational practices with the Pharmacy Leadership Team.
Due to the nature of the role, the post holder will need to be capable of independent travel across the care group area and have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes, as travel to various sites will be expected.
The Pharmacy team in TEWV has over 100 team members including drivers, pharmacy assistants, administration, nurses, pharmacy technicians and pharmacists. Individual team members are spread across multiple sites, with a dispensary in each of our 3 localities. The locality teams work independently, but come together to agree standards and best practice, learning from each other and trying to improve.
We developed a 5‑year Medicines Optimisation and Pharmacy Framework which was created with the teams to produce a shared set of themes and priorities.
The Trust is currently working with staff and partners to deliver the Community Mental Health Transformation programme (CMHTP). This is a five‑year programme, driven by the NHS England Long Term Plan, that looks at the needs of local populations and how organisations can move towards a more joined‑up approach to services to improve the lives of people living with mental health illnesses.
