Rotational Pharmacist Opportunities
Due to the expansion of our innovative team, we are delighted to offer multiple opportunities for rotational pharmacists. We welcome applications from trainee pharmacists due to qualify in 2026, newly qualified pharmacists, community pharmacists, and those already working within hospital pharmacy or other sectors.
About the Role
We are seeking pharmacists who are committed to developing their clinical expertise and leadership skills, with a strong emphasis on patient-centred care. This role offers the chance to collaborate with clinicians across sectors in East Sussex, supporting the advancement of practice and contributing to improved patient outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Work closely with consultants, other medical staff, nurses, and pharmacy staff in ensuring that medicine use is safe, rational, effective, and evidence-based.
- Provide a clinical pharmacy service to a group of wards on a rotational basis.
- Support the dispensary in providing an efficient and timely service.
- Join the department weekend and on-call service on a rota basis following a period of orientation and induction.
- Act as a Practice Supervisor for Trainee Pharmacists and Pharmacy undergraduates.
Progression and Development
Progression and development are key priorities for our department. Rotational pharmacists will benefit from experience across a wide range of specialties at both our main hospital sites and community locations, with opportunities to work alongside multi-sector partners, including the local mental health trust. These rotations are designed to support career progression from post-registration Foundation training through to Advanced Level Practice.
