Are you interested in developing a specialist technical career in pharmacy aseptic services?
We are looking for motivated, enthusiastic individuals with excellent attention to detail to join our team.
This is a Band 3 to Band 4 progression post - you do not need to be a Pharmacy Technician to apply. Full training will be provided.
You will support the preparation and supply of medicines, including chemotherapy, biological medicines & clinical trial treatments.
Working in our cleanroom and isolator environment, you will develop skills in aseptic preparation, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), quality systems, stock management & other technical activities.
You will complete the Science Manufacturing Technician (SMT) qualification alongside the Trust’s aseptic training and competency programme.
Successful completion of the SMT qualification and required Band 4 competencies will lead to progression to Band 4, based on achievement of the development pathway.
At Band 4 you will undertake a wider range of specialist technical activities with greater autonomy and support the training of less experienced staff.
You should be accurate, organised, practical, committed to learning and able to follow detailed procedures, work effectively in a team and maintain high standards of quality and patient safety.
Relevant experience is advantageous, but applicants with the aptitude and commitment to develop are encouraged to apply.
The post holder will be a key member of the Pharmacy Aseptic Services team, supporting the safe, effective and timely preparation and supply of aseptically prepared medicines for patients across the Trust.
