Summary

This is a permanent 1x WTE Band 8a position to join the paediatric team in the role of a senior TYA haematology/oncology pharmacist with a specific interest in ambulatory care.

We now have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, enthusiastic, and talented individual to join our clinical pharmacy team in a senior role, serving paediatric and adolescent patients with a specific focus on cancer.
The focus of the post is to support the work of the lead pharmacist and senior clinical pharmacist and at times act as a direct deputy in their absence. The post holder will look after patients within the specialties of haematology, oncology, bone marrow transplant as well as general paediatrics, with services also focussed on the needs of the adolescent and young adult population.

The post-holder will assist in the development and approval of guidelines, development and training of junior pharmacists and lead on service development and service improvement projects.

In doing this, you will develop your own expertise, and that of junior pharmacy colleagues and undergraduates as well as medical students and junior medical staff, whilst working with senior clinicians and nursing staff to ensure high quality medicines management.
This role supports the lead pharmacist in the provision of high-quality patient care through delivery of specialised pharmaceutical care to paediatric and adolescent patients with cancer, including haematology, CAR-T and bone marrow transplant.
