Do you want to earn while you learn? Then come and join us at Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust! This is an exciting training opportunity designed to give the trainee the experience and knowledge to complete a Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard - Pharmacy Technician (Integrated) qualification. It is a cross sector apprenticeship role between our Community Hospitals, a Community Pharmacy, and possibly another service within SCHT, allowing you to improve patient care while developing your knowledge and skills and behaviours required to become a registered Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). This role will act as a steppingstone to a wider career in Pharmacy as a registered Pharmacy Technician. The apprentice will be supported throughout training and work experience, and with support, will learn to complete a range of tasks within timescales to a competent standard. This is a fixed term post of 2 years for the period of training only. The post holder will need to demonstrate commitment to the two-year training program.

Training and Experience
During your apprenticeship, you will learn how to undertake the different duties of a Pharmacy Technician, gaining experience in cross‑sectors such as Community Hospital working on the wards, attending MDT and speaking with patients, Community Pharmacy placement where you will undertake your dispensing and other services within our Trust. You must be able to work accurately, communicate effectively and be confident to move between teams and sites regularly.
