Job Description

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.



Please see below for detailed job description of the role.



We are looking for a friendly and hardworking individual to join our busy Homecare team as a Pharmacy support worker within University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS).



Homecare is a service that involves arranging medication and treatments to over 8900 patients in their home via 12 different Homecare providers.

We are a small but expanding team of 14 staff consisting of 2 Pharmacy Technicians, 1 Senior Officer, 2 Advanced Senior Pharmacy Support Workers, 6 Senior Pharmacy Support Workers, and 3 Pharmacy Support Workers. The department operates Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 17:30.



University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.



Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.



We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.



At UHS we're committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.



At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We're committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.



This role is office based and involves receipting goods & processing invoices for payment through our CMM computer system. Other duties include answering the phone, and taking in prescriptions handed in via our hatch. This vacancy does not meet the Home Office threshold for sponsorship therefore we are unable to accept applications from candidates who do not have the right to work in the UK.

The ideal candidate will have:

IT experience



ability to work independently



show attention to detail



excellent written and verbal communication



ability to prioritise workload
