In June 2020, we opened Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Liverpool, our spectacular new cancer hospital in the heart of Liverpool's Knowledge Quarter, providing state-of-the-art facilities as part of a £162m investment. Alongside our flagship hospital in Liverpool, we also have two other main cancer centres.

Our cancer centres include:

• Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Wirral, providing outpatient cancer treatment and supportive care on the Clatterbridge Health Campus in Bebington, Wirral
• Clatterbridge Cancer Centre - Aintree, our radiotherapy treatment centre on the Aintree University Hospital site

Together, working across three sites and operating specialist chemotherapy clinics in four of Merseyside's district hospitals, we deliver a comprehensive range of inpatient care, advanced radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and other systemic anti-cancer therapies, including gene therapies and immunotherapies.

We also deliver a pioneering Treatment at Home and Work service, are the only facility in the UK providing low-energy proton beam therapy to treat rare eye cancers, and host the region's Teenage and Young Adult Unit.

Pharmacy Procurement Assistant

The Pharmacy is equipped with a £1.7m purpose-built department consisting of licensed aseptic production and gene therapy preparation facilities. It is a friendly, forward-thinking, and dynamic department.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Pharmacy Assistant with either an NVQ Level 2 in Pharmacy Practice or an NVQ Level 2 Diploma, although, if not possessed, this may be offered to the right candidate. This will, however, be reflected in your initial banding. There will be the opportunity to register with the chartered institute of procurement and supply (CIPS) to work towards a level 2 certificate in procurement and supply operations.

You will be a good team player, possess good people and organisational skills, be able to work alone as well as in a team, and able to work under pressure in this environment. You should also have stock control and inventory management skills.

The successful candidate will be part of the pharmacy procurement team and responsible for maintaining departmental stocks of medicines and consumable items, including procurement, receipt, and storage.

If you want to be part of a fantastic team and help support the Trust with our vision for providing the best cancer care in the country, then we want to hear from you.

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK's leading cancer centres, providing highly specialist cancer care to a population of 2.4m people across Cheshire and Merseyside, and the surrounding areas, including North Wales and the Isle of Man.

Our vision is to not only maintain this level of commitment to excellence but to work with our academic and healthcare partners across the region to ensure care, treatment, and patient outcomes continuously improve in the future. We are very proud of all our expert and loyal staff and we welcome people who share the collective aim of delivering excellence in everything that we do.

Our values represent who we are and what we believe in. They define how we act to deliver the best possible care for our patients and shape The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre as a great place to work.

We are:

• Kind
• Empowered
• Responsible
• Inclusive
