GP Surgery jobs in Ecclesfield

We are looking for a committed, full-time pharmacist to be responsible for all professional activities in the pharmacy. You will create the environment to inspire the branch to carry out all the professional activities needed in a modern, fast-paced, patient-focused environment.

Working in a true community pharmacy is more than just dispensing medicines: it’s about supporting patients to get the best from their treatment and helping them to stay healthy: making a real difference to their well-being. You will be able to use your skills and knowledge to improve the quality of services to patients and develop high levels of care to the community.

As a key figure in our local communities, your duties will include:

• Building close relationships with your local community and patients to provide them with expert clinical advice and reassurance.
• Leading your pharmacy team to ensure an efficient and friendly service, excelling in delivering a full range of enhanced services.
• Maintaining close working relationships with GP surgeries regarding prescriptions and medications.
• There will be some checking of prescriptions for accuracy and safety, assisting with dispensing medications and advising patients on routes of administration and dosages, but you will be supported by very able and experienced ACTs and dispensary colleagues.
• We have minimal formal branch management systems and whilst you will have oversight, ACTs and dispensers will be maintaining records, tracking inventory, controlling stock levels and securing controlled drugs to ensure compliance.

We are looking to appoint a colleague in a full-time position, of an average of 38hrs per week, including alternate Saturday mornings and alternate weekends off. All our branches are standard hours pharmacies.

• A professional and approachable manner to build and maintain dependable working relationships
• Excellent communication skills, able to be a role model for your team in delivering face-to-face interactions at a high standard
• Enthusiasm and drive to champion your own learning and development, and grow a continuous learning culture within your team to support their career growth
