Pharmacist Independent Prescriber
Brighton Hill Pharmacy — Basingstoke, RG22 4EH
Full-time · Permanent
The role in one line
Run the clinical services floor of a genuinely modern independent pharmacy — with a dispensing robot handling the volume so you can spend your day in the consultation room, not at the bench.
About us
Brighton Hill Pharmacy sits at the heart of a three-site independent group in Basingstoke, serving over 18,000 patients and dispensing 30,000+ items a month. We are the hub site, with Meditech robotic dispensing, EPS, free local delivery, and our own patient app for repeats.
We've spent five years building the operational side properly so that clinical work isn't squeezed into the gaps. This role exists because we want a prescriber leading services, not a dispenser who occasionally prescribes.
Why now
Independent prescribing moves to the centre of community pharmacy from autumn 2026. We're building the clinic model, the pathways, and the room now — ahead of commissioning — so that whoever joins us shapes it rather than inherits it.
What you'll be delivering
NHS services
- Pharmacy First — full clinical pathways across all seven conditions (sore throat, UTI, sinusitis, acute otitis media, impetigo, infected insect bites, shingles), including gateway consultations and appropriate referral
- NHS Contraceptive Service — initiation and ongoing supply of oral contraception, plus emergency contraception
- NHS Blood Pressure Check Service — case-finding, ABPM, and onward referral
- Seasonal flu and NHS vaccination programmes
- Clinical oversight of dispensing — accuracy checking, robot-supported workflow, intervention and safety culture
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Private clinics
- Weight management — full clinical assessment, GLP-1 initiation (Mounjaro, Wegovy), titration, monitoring and ongoing patient support
- Travel health clinic — risk assessment, vaccination course planning, antimalarial supply. We're a designated Yellow Fever centre

- Vitamin B12 injections — assessment, administration and review
As an Independent Prescriber
- Prescribing within your scope of practice across our private and NHS service lines
- Developing new prescribing-led clinics with us — we have the patient base and the room; we want your clinical judgement on where to take it
- Working alongside local GP practices and PCN colleagues on shared-care and referral pathways
What we're looking for
Essential
- GPhC-registered pharmacist in good standing

- Confident, patient-facing consultation skills and sound clinical reasoning
- Comfortable working to PGDs, SOPs and clinical governance frameworks
