Overview
The pharmacy departments across the NCA are transforming to deliver a single pharmacy service under the direction of the NCA Chief Pharmacist. By working together, we aim to provide an outstanding pharmaceutical service across the group using state of the art electronic systems and automation, with innovative working practices to support all pharmacy staff. This is an exciting time to join our new team.
We are restructuring how medications are supplied from the various pharmacy departments in the NCA. As part of this process, we are expanding the stores team at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust. The Salford Royal Pharmacy Department holds a Wholesale Dealers Authorisation, supplying medications to external healthcare customers in addition to patients within the hospital. We utilise automated storage solutions to improve procurement efficiency and are heavily involved in the COVID-19 vaccination program.
Unfortunately, this role does not meet the criteria required to qualify for sponsorship.
We are seeking a motivated Pharmacy Stores Assistant Technical Officer to join our team. Working under the supervision of the Pharmacy Stores Manager, you will be responsible for the receipt and storage of medications and bulk fluids into the pharmacy store, following Good Distribution Practice, and subsequent entry on the pharmacy computer system. You will also maintain appropriate stock levels of bulk fluids, pick medications for internal and external customers and manage stock deliveries and collections to/from the department by internal and external transport providers.
Although desirable, experience of stock control or previous employment in a pharmacy environment is not required. The post holder will contribute to the weekend working rota.
