Main duties of the job
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated pharmacist with some hospital experience either at pre or post registration. Prior experience in aseptic preparation would be an advantage but not essential.

Training includes our in-house deputy accountable pharmacist program as well as the opportunity to undertake further formal qualifications e.g. clinical diploma, independent prescribing, and aseptic service courses.
Job responsibilities
We are looking for someone who is keen to work as part of a team - training and supporting others in their roles. You will lead by example by upholding a high standard of work and communicating efficiently with others.
The role involves working core hours during the week, alongside supporting the weekend and bank holiday service.
This exciting role in our state-of-the-art aseptic unit at Adanac Park is based at the Health and Innovation Campus in Southampton but all training will be provided at Southampton General Hospital until the unit opens. The new unit is one of the NHS Pathfinder Hub sites for the production of aseptic medicines. As part of the national program to transform NHS pharmacy aseptic services in England, this unit plays a key role in advancing healthcare delivery and patient safety.
