Job Title: Progressive Pharmacy Technician - Medicines Management

Contract Type: Permanent

Please be advised that this vacancy may close earlier than stated if we receive a large number of applications.

The Medicines Management Team is seeking a Pharmacy Technician, or soon to be qualified Pharmacy Technician to join the team on a progressive Band 4-5. We would also welcome applications from those already operating at a Band 5 level who are ready to seamlessly slot into the team at a Senior Pharmacy Technician level.

As part of a supportive and dynamic service, you will work directly with patients to improve outcomes and facilitate patient flow. This is a fast-paced and challenging role, offering excellent opportunities to make a meaningful impact while developing your skills within a rewarding clinical environment.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising 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.

• Completing medicines reconciliation for patients across medical care groups

• Supporting ward-level dispensing of discharge medicines (TTOs) to enable efficient and timely discharge.

• Counselling patients on both new and ongoing medicines to support safe use and adherence in the community.
