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.
You will gain experience working on the hospital inpatient wards, delivering pharmacy ward-based services including taking patient medication histories and educating patients on their medicines. There will also be placements within other MMPS departments with a possibility of visiting other pharmacy organisations external to LTHT.
The post holder will be required to work evenings, weekends, and Bank Holidays on a rotational basis.
Leeds is a wonderful city to work in and LTHT is an organisation that puts its patients first and highly values and supports staff.
Pharmacy is a forward-thinking department that values the contribution of all our staff. MMPS is recognised in the organisation for its collaborative working, and we continuously support our workforce to develop their potential in delivering the best patient care.
Please note that if you are shortlisted you will be invited to a two-stage recruitment process. This will include a face-to-face interview and practical assessment(s). Job offers will be dependent on successful completion of both stages and eligibility to receive apprenticeship levy funding.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a closed job application. More information can be found here: Entry Level Roles Archives - Leeds Health and Care Academy
