Deputy Divisional Lead Pharmacist - Medicine
The closing date is 17 May 2026
An exciting opportunity has arisen for motivated pharmacists to join our Medicine Team as Deputy Divisional Lead Pharmacist. This full-time role offers the chance to develop advanced clinical, leadership and service-development skills while contributing directly to high-quality patient care across the Trust. Although primarily based at King's Mill Hospital, occasional cover at Newark Hospital and Mansfield Community Hospital may be required.
The successful candidate will receive structured training to deliver high-level clinical pharmacy support across several high-risk medication areas. Our pharmacy department is committed to staff development, and you will gain experience across the RPS Professional Standards for Hospital Pharmacy Services. You will also be supported to complete an independent prescribing qualification and apply this skill at ward level.
Key responsibilities include leading a team of pharmacists and Medicines Management Technicians within the division, participating in specialist clinical governance meetings as deputy to the Divisional Lead, and delivering training to non-pharmacy colleagues. You will contribute to safe medicines practice through risk assessments, clinical guideline development, audit activity and medicines expenditure analysis. This role offers an excellent platform for career progression within a supportive and forward-thinking department.
