Pharmacy Technician in Doncaster

A new pharmacy supply and dispensing provision is being created to service wards and community services at RDaSH. This has created the opportunity to build a new team to make it happen. This is a unique opportunity to be part of something from the ground up: shaping a modern, efficient, and patient-focused pharmacy service that directly supports the care delivered across our hospitals and community teams.

We are creating a dedicated dispensary hub at our Tickhill Road site in Doncaster to improve access to medicines, enhance patient experience, and strengthen resilience across our supply chain. You will be joining a forward-thinking team that values innovation, professional growth, and collaboration which will enable you to play a key role in improving how patients receive their medication.

Looking ahead, the Trust intends to establish a wholly owned subsidiary by 2027 to take this service to the next level. Initially, you will be employed by Flourish Enterprises and will be transferred to the new subsidiary on the same terms & conditions, once the business has been registered. Over time the business may expand into new markets such as community pharmacy and care home services, creating even more opportunities for career development and innovation.

If you are passionate about making a difference, helping to design and deliver a pharmacy service that puts patients and professionals first and want to be part of an ambitious journey from day one, we would love to hear from you.

As a Pharmacy Technician you will:

• Be a vital part of the new dispensary service supporting inpatient wards and community teams across RDaSH.
• Work within a modern developing pharmacy operation.
• Help ensure patients receive the right medicines at the right time by delivering a safe and accurate dispensing service that meets professional and legal standards.
• Take responsibility for the final accuracy checking of dispensed medicines.
• Support the day-to-day running of the dispensary.
• Work closely with pharmacists and fellow technicians and wider clinical teams.
• Maintain accurate records.
• Support medicines supply and stock management.
• Respond to routine queries.
• Contribute to safe discharge processes with a strong focus on patient safety and continuity of care.

This is an opportunity to join a newly established team and help shape how the service operates from the outset. Success in this role means consistently high standards of accuracy and reliability with strong teamwork and a patient-centred approach that supports safe and efficient medicines use across the organisation.
