Description
Job Overview
THIS POST IS FIXED TERM/SECONDMENT FOR 12 MONTHS DUE TO SECONDMENT COVER
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN APPLYING FOR THE SECONDMENT POSITION, YOU MUST OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM YOUR CURRENT LINE MANAGER PRIOR TO APPLYING FOR THIS POST.
The Pharmacy Stores and Distribution team at Glan Clwyd Hospital plays a crucial role in providing services directly to wards, theatres, departments, and clinics across the Central IHC area of BCUHB, and is now looking for a self-motivated, patient- and service-focused individual to join the team as a Pharmacy Assistant.
Main duties of the job
Working within the pharmacy, you will carry out a wide range of tasks including the receipt, storage, distribution, and disposal of medicines, as well as supporting the accuracy of stock levels and using pharmacy IT systems to process requests efficiently. You’ll need to have good organisational and communication skills, an eye for detail, and the ability to work accurately. While previous experience is desirable, it’s not essential — full training will be provided. The ability to travel between sites in a timely manner is required.
We’re looking for the right personal qualities as much as experience. If you're enthusiastic, dependable, and ready to play a key part in our team, we’d love to hear from you.
