Interview date: 15 September 2026
Our Pharmacy service has already benefited from significant investment, including a fully refurbished Pharmacy department, a state-of-the-art Aseptic Unit, and a new outpatient dispensary positioned at the heart of the hospital’s main entrance and outpatient department. We are now looking for a commercially minded and patient-focused Superintendent Pharmacist to lead, develop and grow this important outpatient pharmacy service.
This role offers a genuine opportunity to shape a developing service in a forward-looking acute hospital. You will ensure the service meets all regulatory and professional requirements while building a high-quality, accessible and sustainable outpatient pharmacy offer for patients, visitors and staff. You will bring strong community pharmacy experience, sound clinical judgement, and the confidence to work closely with prescribers and wider clinical teams to optimise medicines use, deliver value for money and improve patient outcomes.
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.
