Job description

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for the detailed job description of the role.

The Medicines Management Team at UHS are looking to recruit a dedicated and passionate Pharmacy Technician to join our team. We are looking at new ways to develop our service in the evolving NHS landscape and we are looking for someone to help drive this forward as part of our hard-working, patient focussed team.

We are looking for either an experienced Pharmacy Technician who can hit the ground running in a Band 5 role, or a less experienced Pharmacy Technician who we can support with their development and progression from a Band 4 to Band 5. In either case, our team are committed to providing vocational and formal training and education to provide the right candidate with the support to become an outstanding Medicines Management Pharmacy Technician.

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
