Are you a passionate and driven Band 4/5 Pharmacy Technician ready to take your career to the next level? We’re thrilled to offer a permanent opportunity within our Clinical Trials Pharmacy Team at University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, a centre of excellence in research and innovation.


This is your chance to play a pivotal role in groundbreaking clinical trials that shape the future of patient care across a wide range of specialities. Whether you're already accredited as an ACPT or looking to expand your expertise, we’ll support your development with specialist training in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) management.

• Excel at multitasking and thrive in a fast-paced environment

• Have outstanding communication skills and a sharp eye for detail

• Can confidently meet tight deadlines while maintaining high standards

• Are enthusiastic about contributing to cutting-edge research that makes a real difference

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 UHSwe’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.

• Ensure meticulous record keeping and drug accountability

• Review protocol-specific guidelines to ensure compliance and safety

• Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to deliver seamless trial execution
• Support the dispensing of clinical trial prescriptions
