Summary

Job overview

The Specialist Pharmacy Service (SPS) is a nationally recognised service providing essential advice and guidance to the NHS in relation to all aspects of medicines use. We operate as a single integrated team spanning all 7 regions of NHS England & Improvement. We are hosted by a number of NHS Trusts across the country and are a close-knit group of highly experienced pharmacy professionals and support staff.

Within this team there are 5 functions, one of which is Pharmacy Procurement. Due to a reorganisation across SPS there is now an additional post sitting within the Procurement Hub. The post-holder will support all aspects of the work currently undertaken by the Hub Lead and the Regional Pharmacy Procurement Specialists.
