Vacancy Introduction
The Leeds Diabetes Neighbourhood Health Programme is a new integrated model of care, bringing together primary care, community services and specialist teams to improve outcomes for people living with diabetes and multiple long-term conditions. As part of this innovative programme, we are looking to recruit a dynamic and motivated Highly Specialist Clinical Pharmacist for Diabetes on a 0.4 WTE basis (15 hours per week). The role is based within Leeds Community Healthcare and will primarily support the programme across the Beeston, Middleton and Hunslet areas of south Leeds, working closely with GP practices, community teams and specialist diabetes services.
The role offers an opportunity to work across organisational boundaries and care settings, from primary care and neighbourhood multidisciplinary teams to citywide specialist diabetes services. You will work alongside the Consultant Pharmacist for Diabetes, senior clinical leaders and partner organisations to shape and deliver innovative approaches to diabetes care.
Leeds is a vibrant, diverse city with a strong track record of collaborative working and service innovation. The neighbourhoods supported by this programme have been selected due to their higher prevalence of diabetes and health inequalities, offering a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference to the health outcomes of local communities.
If you are passionate about diabetes care, collaborative working and driving innovation, we would love to hear from you.
