NHS Lothian – Staff Bank

Band 3 Pharmacy Support Workers

NHS Lothian covers Edinburgh city, East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian. We are the second largest health system in NHS Scotland and one of only four teaching Boards. We have strategic partnerships with local Universities, Local Authorities and our four Integration Joint Boards. We serve a population of 900,000, providing a range of primary, community based and acute hospital services. We also provide regional and national services across a range of clinical specialties.

The vision for the Pharmacy & Medicines service is to deliver clinically led, person centred services to ensure patients across Lothian get the best from their medicines and pharmacy services. We are focussed on creating an environment where each person in the team has the opportunity to flourish, develop and make best use of their skills.

We are recruiting highly motivated, enthusiastic and professional undergraduate pharmacy students who are able to work on an ad-hoc, flexible basis to meet the needs of the service. Short and long-term opportunities are available.

You will work with our teams to provide high quality care in a number of settings such as hospital, mental health, community hospitals or primary care based with GP practices. You will also have the chance to support project work. The diversity of services covered provides an ideal environment for you to consolidate your learning and gain new knowledge and skills.

Candidates must currently be undertaking a Masters of Pharmacy (MPharm) degree programme at a university in the United Kingdom.

This advert is for Staff Bank work only and is not in conjunction with any other vacancies currently advertised. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept applications from students who require sponsorship as this is not offered due to the nature of bank work.
