Job description

We are looking for a GPHC registered or soon to be registered Pharmacy Technician to join our enthusiastic and motivated team based at Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital.

This exciting, fully supported progressive rotational post would be suitable for Pharmacy Technicians looking to make the move into hospital pharmacy or those soon to qualify and register with the GPhC. It is a great starting opportunity to develop new skills and to get an introduction into Hospital Pharmacy whilst being able to rotate around different areas of the department to discover what makes you passionate.

This post will require some cross site working due to one of the four rotations being on our Winchester site.

The post holder should be ready for a new challenge, show initiative in supporting service improvements, be a team player and have good problem-solving skills.

You will rotate through the pharmacy department gaining experience in each of the key areas of the pharmacy service, this involves Dispensary, Medicines Management, Medicines Information and Aseptics. You will support the delivery of the service whilst carrying out a broad range of duties including medicines optimisation, supply of medicines, dispensing and issuing medicines, aseptic preparation and medicines information.

On successful completion of the transitional rotational pathway the post holder would then progress to a band 5.

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.

As a member of the pharmacy team, you will contribute to the provision of a range of pharmaceutical services; dispensing and issuing prescriptions, giving advice where appropriate, working alongside pharmacists to ensure all pharmacy duties are carried out in accordance with legal guidelines and departmental (and Trust) procedures to meet the needs of our customers.
