Pharmacy Assistant/Senior Pharmacy Assistant - Dispensary

NHS AfC: Band 2

At NNUH it is our privilege to provide healthcare to over one million people across Norfolk and surrounding areas. Our vision is to ‘provide the best care for every patient’, and if this inspires you and you share our values, we really want you to join our team. 

NNUH is currently the busiest Trauma Unit in the East of England caring for almost 850 trauma patients annually many with complex care needs. We are enhancing our urgent and emergency care specialist services for patients with significant injuries as a result of trauma and have an ambition to become a Major Trauma Centre.

Our values support our vision and guide the behaviour of everything we do, these are:

People-focused

We look after the needs of our patients, carers and colleagues, to provide a safe and caring experience for all.

Respect

We act with care, compassion and kindness and value others’ diverse needs.

Integrity

We take an honest, open and ethical approach to everything we do.

Dedication

We work as one team and support each other to maintain the highest professional standards.

Excellence

We continuously learn and improve to achieve the best outcomes for our patients and our hospital. 

Wish you were here? So do we.


We want all our staff to achieve a balance between work and personal life and understand how important flexible working can be.  We welcome applications on a full or part time basis, various shift patterns and hybrid working, where roles allow.


At the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH), we know the benefits diversity can bring to our organisation such as creativity, innovation and compassion. All of which have a direct impact towards our staff and patient experience. We are committed to being a Hospital for All – being equitable and inclusive, and a place where all feel a sense of belonging. We therefore particularly encourage and welcome applications from candidates who are underrepresented in NNUH’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, people with diverse abilities and people within the LGBT+ community.

Trosolwg o'r swydd

The Pharmacy Department provides a fully comprehensive pharmaceutical service across the Trust and to a number of external community units. We are a large and very busy department with over 180 members of staff including pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy assistants, admin and clerical staff and apprentices.  There are many varied roles and we all work as a team to provide the different functions and services whilst maintaining a high level of patient care.

Pharmacy Assistants are vital members of the Pharmacy team who work closely with Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians. They support colleagues throughout the Trust.  Based in Dispensary they are required to work under the supervision of a Pharmacy Technician or Pharmacist. 

This is an exciting opportunity to join us as a Band 2 Pharmacy Assistant and develop the required knowledge and skills to become a Band 3 Senior Pharmacy Assistant. Support, training and assessment will enable you to achieve the core and enhanced competencies required for the post. A level 2 GPHC approved qualification will be undertaken and once qualified you will transition from band 2 to band 3.  Those already holding a level 2 accredited pharmacy qualification will start at Band 3. 

Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

You will be supporting the supply and dispensing of medication to patients across the hospital, including outpatient clinics.  You will have great attention to detail and like working in a fast-paced environment within a supportive team.  The post will involve using the pharmacy computer system (CMM) and dispensing robot for which training will be given.

You will also spend some time each week on a ward to top up stocks of medication.  If you have had some previous experience working in a hospital or community pharmacy, or a dispensing doctor’s practice, this is a great position to further develop your career in pharmacy.

This post is for either full or part-time hours.  Full-time hours will be worked Monday to Friday with a shift pattern to cover early starts (08:00) and late finishes (18:00).  Part-time hours can be worked as either full or part days but again will include the requirement to cover some earlies and lates.  There will be a requirement to work 1 weekend every 10 weeks with corresponding time off during the week.  There is also a requirement to participate in the bank holiday rota, currently minimum 1 per year.  Rotas are subject to change at any time.
