Job description

We are an ever-expanding team with a high profile within the Cancer Centre and Kent & Medway Cancer Network. In order to meet the demands and challenges of a growing service, we require forward thinking, talented individuals who are keen to contribute to the delivery of high-quality patient focused services.

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a pharmacy assistant to gain oncology experience within our team. The position is currently based at the Maidstone site however as the service is consolidated at both sites, this post is a trust wide position.

The oncology facilities at the Maidstone site are under review and we are in the process of re-designing our dispensary. This will enable us to meet the requirements of the increasing demand of oral anti-cancer treatments for patients within the Kent & Medway area.

We are looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic, highly motivated and versatile technician with excellent communication and organisational skills to join our pro-active team.

Duties will include:

  • Using the departmental electronic prescribing system (ARIA) and JAC dispensing program to dispense outpatient and supportive medications, including oral anti-cancer treatment (SACT’s), High Cost Drugs and Immunoglobulin therapy.
  • Participating in research and development by the dispensing of novel clinical trial medication and the completing of relevant accountability documentation.
  • Maintenance of stock including ordering of patient-specific High Cost Drugs to ensure patients receive their medication in a timely manner.
We will welcome applications from community based pharmacy assistants with a desire to move into a hospital environment. Experience working in a hospital pharmacy is desirable but not essential. There will be the opportunity for further courses including PTPT qualification.
