Overview
You could be part of a dynamic & enthusiastic team as we provide pharmacy services to our units throughout Essex.
The successful candidate would have knowledge and skills to undertake the mandatory units for an NVQ Level 2 qualification in Pharmacy Services. Full training and support will be provided for candidates who have not already undertaken this training.
Previous experience of working in a hospital or community pharmacy would be an advantage, but not essential. The ability to travel across the EPUT Region is a necessity as part of this job role and therefore a driving license and own vehicle is preferred. The candidate will be expected to work within the Main Pharmacy in Chelmsford as part of a larger team or within our satellite pharmacies based at Basildon or Colchester as well as working independently at any of our other units throughout the EPUT region.
Part of the Time to Care initiative will see the successful candidates working with the ward teams to provide a fully integrated service that will provide greater support to the nursing and clinical teams through effective medicines inventory management.
This post is ideal for anybody looking to take their first step towards a career in pharmacy as well as those who wish to expand their pharmacy horizons within an enthusiastic & progressive team.
