To support this important agenda, we are seeking a committed, skilled and dynamic individual with excellent administrative, data management and communication skills.
Role and Responsibilities
As an Administrative Professional within our team, you will play a crucial role in supporting the delivery of our departmental and organisational safety priorities. You will work closely with colleagues across the Pharmacy Department and the wider Trust, helping to ensure that medicines governance processes are effectively coordinated, monitored and continuously improved.

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.
The successful candidate will have GCSEs (or equivalent), including English and Mathematics, together with a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Teams, Excel and Outlook.
Previous experience of working within NHS hospital services and/or a knowledge of pharmacy services would be desirable, but is not essential.
Key Responsibilities
As a successful candidate, you will provide essential administrative support to the team, with particular responsibility for coordinating meetings, preparing agendas, recording minutes and maintaining action logs. You will also support data analysis and management, contribute to the production of reports and dashboards, and manage and respond to enquiries received by the team.
