Superintendent Pharmacist (Online Pharmacy) — Part-Time | ASAP Start (Mostly Remote | North East England)
We’re looking for a Superintendent Pharmacist (Part-Time) to lead the professional, clinical, and regulatory direction of our distance-selling/online pharmacy. This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys combining patient safety, clinical governance, and operational leadership—and who’s excited by the pace of a growing digital pharmacy.
You’ll be the legally responsible pharmacist, shaping how we run safely and compliantly as we scale. The role is mainly remote, with occasional on-site visits to our North East England hub/operations.
What you’ll be doing
Clinical Governance & Compliance
* Act as the primary point of contact with the GPhC and ensure the business meets all statutory and professional requirements
* Design, implement, and regularly audit SOPs tailored for distance-selling operations
* Lead risk management across online workflows (identity checks, remote clinical appropriateness, misuse prevention)
Operational Oversight
* Oversee end-to-end dispensing to ensure high standards of accuracy, safety, and efficiency
* Provide leadership and supervision to pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, supporting development and professional standards
* Ensure ethical procurement and oversee supply chain / cold-chain logistics where applicable
Digital Innovation & Patient Safety
* Review clinical website content to ensure it’s accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with medicines advertising standards
* Partner with independent prescribers/clinicians to ensure safe patient journeys from consultation to delivery
* Act as final escalation point for complex clinical queries and patient complaints
What we’re looking for
* GPhC-registered pharmacist with a clean fitness-to-practise record
* Strong knowledge of the Medicines Act, Human Medicines Regulations, and GPhC standards for registered pharmacies
* Ideally experience in online/distance-selling pharmacy (DSP) and/or senior leadership/Superintendent responsibility
* Comfortable working in digital-first environments (PMR systems, Slack/Teams, e-commerce platforms)
You’ll be great if you…
* Lead confidently in a high-responsibility environment
* Have exceptional attention to detail and a patient-safety-first mindset
* Can balance regulatory requirements with commercial realities in a scaling business
* Enjoy improving systems, governance, and processes—not just maintaining them
