Are you looking for a role where your work directly contributes to safer, better patient care?
Join our Pharmacy Production team and play a vital part in ensuring patients receive high-quality, safe, and appropriately prepared medicines.
This role offers a fantastic opportunity to join a committed and skilled team dedicated to maximising the availability of safe, appropriate medication to support excellent patient care.
Please note, this is NOT a Pharmacy Dispensing role.
You will work across three key areas within Pharmacy Production:
Aseptic Dispensing Unit
Your primary focus will be within our Aseptic Dispensing Unit, where you will assemble and prepare patient-specific injectable medications for clinics and wards throughout the Trust. You will work within a Pharmacy clean room, wearing specialist clothing and prepare medications inside a pharmaceutical isolator.
Quality Control Department
You will be trained and validated to support the Quality Control team, carrying out essential checks on unlicensed medicines and products labelled in our Pre-packing Unit.
Pre-packing Unit
You will also be validated to work within the Pre-packing Unit, labelling bulk quantities of medicines for both internal and external Trust customers, as well as picking and accuracy-checking orders.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you are enthusiastic, organised, and committed to supporting excellent patient care, we would be delighted to receive your application and welcome you to our team.
To understand the role in more detail, please refer to the attached job description and person specification.
We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.
We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
