Job Opportunity in Hospital Pharmacy
Are you keen to learn, ambitious, ready to be supported through education, with a dedicated training plan to support your journey within hospital Pharmacy?
About the Role
Our aim is to develop you to become ready for a Band 7 post within twelve to eighteen months. You will have dedicated time given to you to support your development.
As a member of this busy but friendly team you will experience many core aspects of pharmacy practice.
As well as the clinical work, you will have commitments to the dispensary, will be expected to contribute to our 7 day working service and our on call service.
Pharmacists are part of an engaged and progressive Pharmacy team wanting to support our hospital areas where we help staff cope with the ever increasing elderly population and their complex needs.
There is also a fixed term 12 months post (or until the resumption of the post holder, whichever is soonest) available. This post has been established to provide cover for a secondment. Please note whilst this is fixed term/secondment cover, it may become permanent without the need for re-advertising.
NHS Employees would need to secure their managers agreement for a secondment ideally prior to applying as this would be a condition of any offer made. Please indicate in the supporting information section whether you wish to apply for the permanent or fixed term post only or whether you wish to be considered for both.
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.
