We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated and proactive pharmacy technician seeking a new challenge to join our growing Pharmacy Clinical Trials team at The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
A unique opportunity has arisen
A full-time Band 5 or Band 6 Pharmacy Technician is needed to join the Pharmacy Clinical Trials team.
Banding
Banding will depend on experience allowing applications either directly at Band 6 or at Band 5 level with the opportunity to develop the appropriate experience and skills to become a Band 6.
Requirements
Applicants will need to hold a BTEC or NVQ Level 3 in Pharmaceutical Sciences and be registered as a Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council.
Our Trust values of People Focused, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Excellence are essential to a role working in the Pharmacy Department.
We are a very busy, large department in a fast-paced teaching hospital; therefore, the ability to be able to work under pressure and respond to a frequently changing environment is essential.
This post is for full-time employment, however, alternative working patterns will be considered. All staff are required to participate in the weekend rota with corresponding time off during the week, currently 1 in 10. All staff are required to undertake at least one public holiday duty per year. All rotas are subject to review at any time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
