Job Description

Due to the introduction of new ways of working we are looking to recruit a Medicines Management Pharmacy Technician to join our enthusiastic and friendly team. Our team approach along with access to newly implemented digital systems will provide timely, accurate pharmaceutical care and improved patient flow through the hospital.
We are looking for a highly motivated, friendly, conscientious, patient focused Registered Pharmacy Technician to join our busy ward-based pharmacy teams. You must have excellent communication and organisational skills and be able to use your initiative and contribute to a team setting and also have the skills to work alone.
You will undertake medicines management duties at ward level, support operational supply of medicines via the main dispensary and also have oversight of and support the delivery of clinical trials managed through the main dispensary.
Main duties of the job
You will be responsible for the supervision of training and less experienced staff and you must be able to manage your own workload to ensure the provision of a timely and efficient pharmacy service.
The right candidate will be given the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills further through our development opportunities supported by our friendly and experienced team.
Being part of our team is not only knowledge enhancing and rewarding, but also fun. We encourage social events and often raise funds for local charities by doing fancy dress walks, cake bakes and raffles. The hospital is set in a beautiful part of North Wales with so much more to offer the right candidate.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
