Summary
The Community Pharmacy, Eye Care and Controlled Drugs team is a small friendly team responsible for maintaining and driving transformation and innovation of services that are widely available to millions of people, and which have a real-world impact.
The recent strategic direction of travel for community pharmacy and eye care is to move care away from hospitals and closer to communities and employ technology to streamline patient pathways. In community pharmacy this is about fully utilising pharmacists’ broad clinical skills to treat common conditions and take pressure off other parts of the NHS.
In eyecare this is about the interaction between primary and secondary care eye services to improve patient care and make sure services are fit to reduce waiting lists and meet future demand. The advertised roles will support government policy and help manage the legislative framework that underpins the delivery of these vital services in England.
We are recruiting for three Policy Managers to support policy leads and manage discrete pieces of work across community pharmacy and eye care.
You will be expected to support priority areas in the team relating to community pharmacy and eye care. This will include developing policy, providing advice to Ministers, including providing briefings, drafting speeches, answering parliamentary questions and correspondence. You will need to be flexible and resilient to changing demands and priorities and be willing to work as part of a team.
