Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic clinical pharmacist to join our patient-focused and progressive Pharmacy Team at Singleton Hospital. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to provide a patient-orientated pharmacy service to our wards primarily, but will also be expected to work within a pharmacist-led clinic setting. Singleton hospital provides a range of specialities including Surgery, Neonatology, Oncology, Haematology, HIV and Hepatitis C, in addition to various Medical Outpatient clinics. This will allow the development of deeper knowledge, expertise, clinical and non-clinical skills under the direction of our experienced lead practitioners.

Our team endeavours to provide a comprehensive, highly skilled service to clinical areas. This approach contributes to an improvement in the quality of prescribing and clinical care for the patient.

We are seeking a friendly, enthusiastic, motivated and talented pharmacist to join our team.

However, support and mentoring will be provided to the successful candidate by team members to ensure that you fulfil your potential, and an opportunity to undertake and develop an independent prescribing role will be possible. The post-holder would also participate in Clinical Pharmacy dispensary duties in our automated dispensary.
