Most pharmacists have to choose: stay clinical or move into academia. This role doesn't make you choose - and it doesn't put your clinical career on the back burner either.
We're recruiting a Specialist Clinical Pharmacist Teacher Practitioner to split their week between Good Hope Hospital and Aston University.
Main Duties, Tasks & Skills Required
Split your week 50/50: clinical leadership at Good Hope, teaching leadership at Aston.
On the hospital side, you'll lead clinical pharmacy service delivery, line-manage a team of pharmacists, and help train and develop trainee pharmacists - genuine leadership experience, not just clinical delivery.
On the university side, you'll lecture, run workshops, design learning content, mark assessments and act as personal tutor - real ownership, not occasional teaching cover.
Good Hope and Aston University are both easy to reach from central Birmingham by public transport.
What You'll Get
A genuine split career, not a token teaching add-on Structured leadership and line management experience within a supportive clinical team Protected learning time built into your working week Support toward non-medical prescribing (NMP), if not already qualified Health, wellbeing and family benefits, including NHS discounts at retailers, restaurants and leisure facilities
