Job description

PCN Pharmacist (Hybrid - 4 Days per Week)

Location: Staffordshire & surrounding areas (Stoke-on-Trent, Longton, Blythe Bridge, Newcastle-under-Lyme)

Salary: Negotiable dependent on experience

Contract: 3-month fixed term (with employee benefits) or self-employed locum

Hours: 32 hours per week (4 days, flexible, preferably Monday‑Thursday)

Start Date: 3rd November 2025

Why This Role Stands Out

Are you a highly skilled Primary Care Pharmacist looking for a role that combines flexibility, professional growth, and the chance to make a real impact on patient care? This hybrid position gives you the best of both worlds: on‑site clinical practice (1‑2 days per week) and remote working, allowing you to maximise your expertise while maintaining work‑life balance.

You’ll join a forward‑thinking primary care network, helping to deliver structured medication reviews (SMRs) and support long‑term condition management – a perfect role for pharmacists who thrive in autonomy, enjoy problem‑solving, and love making a difference in patient outcomes.

The clinical pharmacist will work remotely within their clinical competencies to provide expert support in medicines management across GP practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs). The postholder will have substantial primary care experience and be confident working autonomously, demonstrating clinical excellence and supporting the delivery of safe, effective, and high‑quality patient care. By delivering consistent, high‑standard clinics, they will help maintain strong relationships and demonstrate value to both customers and patients, contributing to the reputation and growth of the service.

The pharmacist will support colleagues where appropriate, share best practice, and provide clinical input or guidance where needed. They will collaborate with GPs, nurses, and other Allied Health Professionals to improve outcomes from medicines and promote a patient‑centred approach to care.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver high‑quality medication reviews and structured medication reviews (SMRs).
• Conduct long‑term condition clinics within scope of competence.
• Process acute and repeat prescription requests, ensuring safe and appropriate prescribing.
• Review and action hospital discharge and outpatient clinic letters.
• Provide medicines information and advice to clinicians and patients.
• Undertake and lead clinical audits, share learning, and implement improvement actions.
• Support achievement of QOF and IIF indicators, and Local enhanced services through proactive medicines management.
• Provide training, mentorship and clinical guidance to the pharmacy team.
• Contribute to the ongoing review and development of clinical protocols and pathways.
• Collaborate with GPs or other healthcare professionals to optimise patient outcomes and reduce medicines‑related harm.

Who We’re Looking For

• GPhC‑registered pharmacist
• Minimum 2 years' post‑registration experience in primary care/GP practice (on‑site)
• Completed CPPE Primary Care Pharmacy Education Pathway (PCPEP) or equivalent
• Strong clinical knowledge across long‑term conditions (including Hypertension, Respiratory, Heart Failure and Diabetes)
• Experience with EMIS or SystmOne
• Excellent communication, organisational and IT skills
• Confident working independently and collaboratively

Desirable

• Independent Prescriber qualification
• Experience in service development, leadership, or quality improvement
• Experience contributing to multidisciplinary team meetings and service development

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Negotiable pay – competitive package or locum rates
• Flexible hybrid working – balance on‑site and remote sessions
• Opportunity to shape services and deliver measurable impact on patient care
• Join a supportive, forward‑thinking team in a high‑performing primary care network
• Potential for contract extension based on performance
