Are you passionate about developing staff? Then this may be a great opportunity for you.
Leading an established Education and Training team consisting of senior pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, you will develop a strategy for learning and development of staff within the department from induction to expert practice.
Within the role you will be given scope to innovate and our department has a track record of developing extended roles for pharmacy assistants, pharmacy technicians and pharmacists.
An important part of the role will be ensuring we are meeting the requirements for the new Pharmacy Degree and developing effective systems for providing support to trainees and newly qualified pharmacy team members.

3. Acting as a Designated Supervisor for trainee pharmacists

Being an independent prescriber is highly desirable and ability to act as a DPP. We are looking for a compassionate individual who has the ability to develop others. The preferred candidate will be organised and will be able to adapt their approach to different individuals. A background of education in a previous role is required and evidence of leadership skills including coaching, mentoring and delegation.
