Because saving lives sometimes starts with a perfectly packed pouch.
Are you the kind of Pharmacy Technician who colour-codes SOPs, spots a stock discrepancy from 20 paces and gets a quiet sense of satisfaction from a flawlessly balanced controlled drugs register?

You’ll lead and support Pharmacy Support Workers, manage day-to-day operations, develop SOPs, train colleagues, respond to urgent drug alerts and ensure we’re always compliant with UK medicines legislation.

What you’ll be trusted with:
• Operational management of medicines packing and distribution
• Leadership, supervision and development of Pharmacy Support Workers
• Controlled drugs governance (yes,allof it)
• SOP development, quality assurance and continuous improvement
• Stock control, procurement liaison and inventory systems
• Training delivery and professional mentorship
• Deputising for the MDC Manager when it really matters

• Salary Sacrifice schemes for cars or push bikes.
• Access to occupational health and counselling services.
• Award winning wellbeing hub
• Access to NHS discounts, offering NHS employees a range of money-saving deals.
