Fixed term / secondment to 31/12/2025 / Part time hours may be considered
We have an opportunity for a patient-focussed, enthusiastic pharmacy technician to join our Dispensary team providing Pharmaceutical services to patients in the largest hospital in the Scottish Highlands.
This is a really exciting time to join our hospital pharmacy team. We have recently installed robotics in our dispensary and distribution services and are introducing a Hospital Electronic Prescribing and Medicine Administration (HEPMA) system as part of an ambitious collaboration across the six north board areas.
The successful applicant will assist with the day to day management of the dispensary, whilst undertaking a variety of challenging roles within a continually changing and developing area. Duties will include staff training, supervision and development whilst participating in and implementing service improvements.
The successful applicant will have a sound knowledge of pharmacy practice, excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team.
You must be a pharmacy technician registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) with a commitment to Continuous Professional Development. This post requires post qualification knowledge and experience along with a recognised Dispensary or Accredited Accuracy Checking Qualification.
We have an excellent team of friendly Pharmacy staff committed to service modernisation and to developing the role of pharmacy technicians and support staff. We encourage our team to undertake further training and aim to support this as much as possible. You will be required to participate in departmental rotas for extended opening hours, weekend working and public holidays.
