Job overview
Starting in May 2025
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated Pharmacy Technician to join our friendly Research Pharmacy Team at United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH). The post holder will be a part of the Pharmacy Department and the Research and Innovation team.
The successful candidate will support clinical trials service with existing and upcoming new studies, in a variety of clinical specialties and play an important role in improving the health for patients.
You will need to apply your pharmacy knowledge, analytical eye and practical experience to deliver safe investigational treatments to our patients. You must be keen to learn, able to interpret complex information, and communicate effectively. We would expect this role to develop you and for you to use the experience to develop others.
Significant experience in hospital pharmacy or clinical trials would be expected. Full training and support will be provided.
The post will be based at Lincoln County Hospital but the successful candidate will need to travel to other sites within the Trust.

You will also represent the team, the department and the Trust when engaging with pharmaceutical companies and their partner organisations, so a professional nature is required.
