We are a small team based in Kent and Canterbury Hospital where we work closely together to offer clinical support services to each hospital within the trust.
Pharmacy Homecare is a service that delivers ongoing medicine supplies, and, where necessary, associated care, initiated by the hospital prescriber, directly to the patient's home.
The Pharmacy Homecare team acts as an intermediary between the clinical team and the Homecare company, playing a critical role in ensuring patients receive their medicines. Pharmacy Homecare must ensure the right drug, in the right form, is ordered and delivered at the right time to the patient.
We are looking for a new and enthusiastic member of staff to join our homecare team. As a team, we are working hard to ensure we put patients at the heart of everything we do. We are on an exciting journey, ever-changing, improving, and gaining new knowledge and expertise to develop as the East Kent Pharmacy Homecare Team. We can offer you a rewarding, flexible, and supportive role within our Pharmacy Homecare Team.
The responsibilities of this role include:
1. Producing consistently reliable and accurate work in a timely manner.
2. Liaising and coordinating good communication between homecare companies, patients, carers, Trust pharmacy, and medical staff.
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 800,000 people. Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: 'People feel cared for, safe, respected, and confident that we are making a difference'. We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It's about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families, and carers we care for every day.
