About the Opportunity
We are working with a brand‑new, state‑of‑the‑art private hospital in Central London that is launching its pharmacy service from the ground up. This is a rare chance to join at the very beginning of the build‑out phase, helping shape how the pharmacy operates, how stock flows through the hospital, and how automation is embedded into daily practice.
If you’re a hospital‑experienced Pharmacy Technician who enjoys hands‑on work, ownership, and building processes from scratch, this role offers genuine progression and long‑term opportunity.
