Due to clinical service expansion we have the following opportunity for an enthusiastic and self-motivated pharmacist to join our clinical pharmacy team as a Cancer Services Pharmacist. The post holder will provide clinical pharmacy services to Oncology and Haematology patients within the trust, with opportunity to utilise skills in pharmacist prescribing and pre-anticancer treatment assessment.
The successful applicant will be an enthusiastic pharmacist with an interest in developing their career in Cancer Services. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and a postgraduate diploma in clinical pharmacy are required.
The role will include participation in weekend working as the Trust develops its seven day service.
The post holder will:
• providing pharmaceutical advice to the oncology and haematology directorates within the Trust,
• ensure effective medicines management and compliance with current standards and statute and coordinating the provision of pharmaceutical care to the Clinical Directorate under the strategic direction of the Consultant Oncology Pharmacist
• ensure compliance with Pharmacy Clinical Governance arrangements.

We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients’ homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.
We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.
We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.
We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
Please see the attached job description and person specification for key duties and responsibilities of this role.
