Could you help shape the future of wellbeing support within the pharmacy profession?
Pharmacist Support is recruiting both pharmacist and lay trustees to join our Board and help shape the future of wellbeing support across the profession. This is an exciting opportunity to use your experience, insight and lived perspective to support pharmacists, former pharmacists, trainees, students and their families through the personal and professional challenges that can affect wellbeing throughout their lives and careers.
About Pharmacist Support
Pharmacist Support is an independent, trusted charity providing free and confidential support to pharmacists and their families, former pharmacists, trainees and students. We listen without judgement and help people navigate challenges including workplace pressures, financial difficulties and mental health and wellbeing concerns.
Established in 1841, the charity has grown from Benevolent Fund roots into a modern, forward-looking organisation championing wellbeing across the profession.
About the role
Trustees play an important role in helping shape the charity’s strategy, governance and future development. Working alongside fellow trustees and the senior leadership team, you will help ensure the charity continues to meet the changing needs of those it supports. We are particularly keen to hear from:
Pharmacist applicants
- Pharmacists with recent community pharmacy experience
- Independent prescribers
- Individuals working in emerging pharmacist or primary care roles
- Pharmacists based in Scotland or Wales
