Our friendly and progressive department are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join the cancer services pharmacy team with the potential to rotate through the acute hospital pharmacy, depending on candidate experience and training.

This is an excellent opportunity to work in the heart of a well-established clinical pharmacy team with a wide range of patients and healthcare professionals in a busy and expanding cancer centre. 

The successful candidate will perform a wide range of duties at clinic and dispensary level. Key duties include dispensing of prescriptions and processing prescriptions for homecare delivery.

This is an excellent opportunity for school leavers to join the NHS.  Whilst past experience in pharmacy is helpful, it is not essential to the role as full training will be provided based on your existing qualifications and future role requirements.  As such candidates would ideally already hold an NVQ 2 in pharmacy services or equivalent qualification or should be willing to work towards this.

We are able to offer full-time or part-time working pattern which can be discussed at interview.
