Build relationships with ward teams, deliver governance, teaching, quality improvement, and service development. Mentoring and further education opportunities, including practicing as an independent prescriber, will be supported.

Lead pharmacy staff, support the trust's pharmacy strategy, and work autonomously while motivating others.

Applicants must accept an interview slot upon selection, even if previously arranged with the manager.

All essential certificates must be provided for pre-employment checks.
