We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic Pharmacy Dispenser to support and enhance our technical team.

Your role will involve the dispensing and labelling of medicines for in-patients, out-patients and discharges, working at ward level as part of a discharge team, greeting patients at the pharmacy reception where you will receive and issue prescriptions.





You will need good communication skills and a pleasant telephone manner. You must be able to work accurately and quickly under pressure and be committed to the delivery of high standards in a patient focused service.

Previous pharmacy experience is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided, plus you will be required to study for and gain the NVQ level 2 in Pharmacy Services. If you already hold a level 4 qualification you may be required to self-fund this qualification.

Unfortunately, this role does not meet the criteria required to qualify for sponsorship
