About the Role
From September 2024, the University of Bath will expand its highly ranked MPharm pharmacy course to include a campus at the University of Plymouth. This extension will significantly enhance the opportunities for students to pursue pharmacy studies in the region. The course will be delivered in collaboration with NHS England and various local stakeholders.
With the upcoming changes to pharmacy education, all pharmacists will be able to prescribe upon registration from 2026, creating a diverse array of career roles. Initially, the course will enroll 25 students in September 2024, increasing to 40 students over time.
To support this expansion, we are seeking a qualified and enthusiastic Pharmacy Practice Technician.

The technician will support pharmacy practice teaching by collaborating with academics and pharmacy practitioners to develop and prepare resources and demonstrate clinical and simulation equipment usage.

Additional Information
Considerations for part-time and flexible working arrangements will be made. Flexibility is required due to potential changes in teaching schedules from semester to semester.
