• Dispense and supply medicines.
• Contribute to audits and the safe use of automated dispensing systems.
• Work flexibly across secure and non-secure sites, supporting the delivery of high-quality pharmaceutical care.

This role involves travel across multiple sites, including secure environments. You will require access to your own vehicle and be expected to work flexibly to support the needs of the service, including participation in rotas and weekend working.
