Previous applicants need not apply.
The Pharmacy Department at Mid Cheshire Hospital is entering an exciting period of change, introducing a state-of-the-art robotic system and a new dispensing and stock management system. This is a great opportunity to join our team as we enhance our service for the future.
We are recruiting enthusiastic and committed Senior Assistant Technical Officers to work across Pharmacy Stores and the Dispensary. If you enjoy a varied role, this could be the job for you.
Duties include ward stock replenishment, dispensing medications against patient prescriptions, and supporting a range of other pharmacy tasks. As we provide a seven‑day service, candidates must be able to work flexibly, including weekends, evenings and bank holidays on a rota basis.
We have ambitious plans and are looking for motivated individuals who share our vision of delivering a world-class healthcare service. Successful candidates will work as part of our pharmacy team to provide high‑quality, safe and effective services, working under the direction of Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians.
Shortlisted applicants will be required to complete an assessment at interview.
Main rotational duties include dispensing and labelling prescriptions for patients, replenishment of stocks for use in clinical areas, entering data onto computer systems such as ward orders, patient data and using the prescription tracking system, as well as stock management within the pharmacy and within clinical areas. The role involves a degree of manual handling, for which appropriate training will be given.
You will need a good standard of basic education:
• 4 GCSEs Grade C or above, including Maths and English (or equivalent qualifications and experience) and an NVQ/QCF Level 2 in Pharmacy Services, or a statement of competence from the General Pharmaceutical Council, and significant experience of working in a dispensary
• Basic calculation skills are essential
• Good keyboard skills
• Previous experience of working in a hospital or community pharmacy would be an advantage
• You should be a team player and able to function efficiently
Candidates should be patient focused and keen to learn, be hardworking and able to work under pressure during busy periods. Experience of working in a pharmacy would be an advantage but is not essential.
A flexible approach to the above duties is required, together with good communication and interpersonal skills. You should have the ability to prioritise your workload, be proactive and work as part of a team with other healthcare professionals, work on your own when necessary and follow instructions.
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) provides good quality, safe and effective healthcare to the people of Cheshire and beyond.
The Trust, which manages Leighton Hospital in Crewe, Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford, was established as an NHS Trust in April 1991 and became a Foundation Trust in April 2008.
We employ almost 5,000 members of staff, provide around 540 hospital beds, with a range of services including accident and emergency, maternity, outpatients, therapies, and children's health.
The Trust is also part of Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP), a unique local health partnership that provides a range of community services for people across South Cheshire and Vale Royal.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, the Trust was recognised nationally for its Be Safe Be EquiPPEd campaign, which aimed to make the Trust as safe as possible for staff and patients, through supporting the correct use of PPE.
The results in the 2020 national NHS Staff Survey showed improvements in all elements of the safety culture theme, with 92% of respondents feeling their role made a difference to our patients. We were also recognised nationally for our workforce health and wellbeing initiatives.
At Mid Cheshire, we value our staff and appreciate that in order to give our patients the best quality, compassionate care, we also need to look after our colleagues.
The details of the main responsibilities are listed on the Job Description and on the person specification.
