* Work with senior pharmacists and technicians in the Section 10 aseptic units at Denmark Hill.
* Clinical validation of parenteral nutrition orders, technical verification of chemotherapy prescriptions, worksheet checking, and the final check and release of prepared products.
* Provide a daily clinical pharmacy nutrition service to wards, liaising between wards and other departments to ensure patient and ward needs are met.
* Support the day‑to‑day running of the aseptic pharmacy service and collaborate with Specialist and Senior Pharmacists to manage and develop aspects of the service, including developing and maintaining training programmes and resources for trainee pharmacists.
* Prepare staff rotas for pharmacists working in aseptic units and organise the daily technical workflow for chemotherapy and parenteral nutrition production.
* Contribute to research and audit activities and disseminate findings across the Trust.
* Engage in late duties, weekend and bank holiday working as part of a 7‑day pharmacy service, and participate in the wider pharmacy rota. Flexibility is required to work across other King’s College Hospital Trust sites when necessary to support cross‑site service delivery.
