Clinical Pharmacy Opportunity: Cancer Services Pharmacist Posts
About the Role
Are you looking to broaden your clinical experience and develop your skills in a specialist area? We may have the perfect opportunity for you.
We are seeking a pharmacist to join our Cancer Services Pharmacy Team. This role offers an excellent opportunity to explore cancer pharmacy and gain valuable experience in this specialist field.
Eligibility & Requirements
For Band 7 Pharmacists
We welcome applications from Band 7 pharmacists who are looking to build or further their careers in cancer services.
For Band 6 Pharmacists (6-months experience in hospital, towards PGCert in GP practice)
If you are a band 6 pharmacist with a minimum of 6 months hospital experience, and working towards a post-graduate certificate in General Pharmacy Practice, all you will need is a keen interest in oncology.
We can offer you:
- Progression from Band 6 to Band 7, based on the UHSussex Band 6–7 Clinical Rotational Progression Programme.
- Training provided in cancer pharmacy through rotations across adult and paediatric oncology and technical services.
Oncology experience is desirable but not essential—training will be covered throughout your role.
