Senior Pharmacist Outpatients

We have an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic pharmacist to join our Pharmacy Outpatient Team at St Helier Hospital.

We are looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic and motivating team member who will work alongside the Principal Pharmacist, Outpatient Services and Clinical Trials to deliver a first class service to our customers, our staff, and healthcare professionals, preparing outpatient prescriptions, providing appropriate counselling, promoting the safe use of medicines, and other associated services.

We are looking for someone who is inspiring and who will re-invigorate our processes delivering a professional, efficient and caring service.

It is desirable that you have hospital experience to understand hospital prescribing and medicines management but if you only have experience of community pharmacy, you will bring transferable skills such as customer care and liaising with prescribers.
