We are recruiting for a Pharmacy Support Worker who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.
The post holder will have excellent organisational and interpersonal skills to work in our busy manufacturing unit within the pharmacy department at the Lister Hospital.
We have a state-of-the-art unit that has undergone extensive refurbishment. This is an exciting time for you to join our team and work in a brand-new facility.

You must be willing to meet the strict personal requirements for clean room working and be dexterous to undertake aseptic preparation, including the manipulation and use of needles and syringes.
In house training and accreditation will be provided to achieve the required level of competency; on-going validation of aseptic technique is a requirement of the post.
At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general & specialist services we provide & our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible & innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation; our staff & patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. Employees are entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns & we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made & considered formally, & will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
