Clinical Pharmacy Technician Manager | North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust

Company:

This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate pharmacy technician seeking to utilise and strengthen their leadership skills. This post-holder will join the existing Clinical Pharmacy Technician Managers in providing leadership and management to the expanding clinical pharmacy team at University Hospitals Tees, to deliver the clinical pharmacy strategy.

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic pharmacy technician with excellent clinical pharmacy, leadership, and management skills. Experience in a team management role in a hospital setting is essential (please see the Job description and/or person specification for further details).

Excellent teamwork skills are a priority and will contribute to the development of clinical pharmacy services, quality improvement, and innovation within the department, driven by your initiative and enthusiasm. You will also need to be able to work autonomously and effectively contribute to the priorities of the pharmacy leadership team.

You will be responsible for developing and managing the provision of a coordinated and comprehensive clinical pharmacy service for designated Clinical Service Units within the organisation, to ensure the safe and effective use of medicines.

The clinical specialities that the successful candidate will oversee will be negotiated based on the candidate's previous experience and competence. The overall clinical pharmacy service is divided among the team of Clinical Pharmacy Technician Managers.

The post involves managing and supervising the duties of senior pharmacy technicians, pharmacy technicians, pre-registration pharmacy technicians and ward ATOs, dispensing assistants and support staff to ensure we are compliant with national guidance and recommendations of our auditors.

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust have come together to form University Hospitals Tees. As a result, post holders may be required to work across sites within both organisations.

Across University Hospitals Tees, our ambition is to be the best place to work, ensuring we have the right staff in the right roles at the right time to deliver outstanding patient care and experience.

We are committed to supporting our staff through an inclusive and supportive working environment, offering health and wellbeing initiatives, staff benefits, and opportunities for personal and professional development.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive recruitment process and welcome applications from suitably qualified candidates, including those who first language is not English.

We support the 'Making Every Contact Count' approach to behaviour change in the promotion of health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.

The pharmacy department across University Hospital Tees hosts over 400 staff and provides a stimulating, friendly, and professionally rewarding environment for staff to develop their clinical expertise and professionalism. The successful candidate will be provided with opportunities to grow and strengthen their leadership ability by both mentorship and support from the pharmacy leadership team, as well as opportunities to undertake training and gain relevant qualifications.
