Job description

Overview

This role involves rotating around specialist areas such as Women’s and Children, Surgery and Critical Care, and a potential education/clinical lecturer rotation linked with the University of Brighton. The successful candidates will support the Lead and Specialist Pharmacists within these areas to provide patient-centred care and lead on projects that support the directorate in achieving clinical, pharmaceutical or financial targets. Progression and development are key priorities for our department and this role is designed to support career progression from post-registration Foundation training through to Advanced Level Practice.

We offer structured support for personal and professional growth, including access to a funded Postgraduate Clinical Certificate in Pharmacy Practice, and future support in gaining an Independent Prescribing qualification.

This post may be based at either Eastbourne District General Hospital or Conquest Hospital in Hastings.

In this role, you will work closely with consultants, medical staff, midwives, nurses, pharmacy teams, and other healthcare professionals to provide clinical pharmacy services to the specialist area. You will also support the dispensary as needed and be part of the wider clinical pharmacy team.

This role includes a focus on staff education and development. You will be a Practice Supervisor for trainee pharmacists, pharmacy undergraduates, and rotational clinical pharmacists. At the same time, you will be supported in pursuing your own professional development, with opportunities that align with both your career goals and the needs of the department.

Additionally, you will be expected to participate in the department’s weekend and on-call service on a rota basis after completing an orientation and induction period.

A wide range of staff benefits are available to our staff including staff development, enrolment in the NHS pension scheme, auto-enrolment to our Temporary Workforce Service, access to onsite nurseries, staff restaurants and accommodation.

In addition to an internal Occupational Health department, all staff also have access to free psychological support through our confidential Employee Assistance Programme. Onsite parking is available from only £50 a year.
