We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic pharmacy assistant to join our expanding clinical governance/clinical trials team. Bradford Teaching Hospitals is a great place to work, with a friendly and welcoming pharmacy team. The increase in clinical trials being run by the hospital has led to this post being offered. It promises to be a varied role, and the size of the department means there are opportunities for a motivated member of staff to develop and use their skills with support from colleagues. See the job description and person specification for more details.

Prior experience of working in a pharmacy is required, but previous hospital work experience is not essential.
