Have you thought about working within prison healthcare? Prisons are one of the most challenging yet rewarding places for healthcare professionals to work - if you’re looking for a role where you can develop your existing skills and learn something new every day in an environment that never stands still, then this is it!
The main focus of the work will be to provide a dispensary and wing-based clinical pharmacy service and work with the Regional Pharmacist on providing medicines management support to our site in Durham.
HMP Durham is a category B prison, located in the centre of Durham City.
You will be a qualified Registered Pharmacist- BSc or Masters Degree in Pharmacy, holding registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council. You will have a real passion for developing your Pharmaceutical skills and those of your team. You’ll have a flexible approach to working within a team that encourages new ideas.
You'll be responsible for the provision and delivery of an integrated, safe, legal, high-quality prison pharmaceutical service. Working closely with the Head of Healthcare and the multidisciplinary team, you'll be responsible for ensuring that the provision of service meets the contractual obligations.
If you are self-motivated and able to work autonomously as well as showing plenty of initiative when it comes to handling a wide range of situations, then this could be the right role for you!
Experience of working in a secure environment would be beneficial but not essential.
