Pharmacy jobs in Westhoughton

You've spent your career in pharmacy — now help the next generation get there.

We're hiring a Trainer / Assessor to deliver and assess two pharmacy apprenticeship standards: the Level 2 Pharmacy Services Assistant and the Level 3 Pharmacy Technician (Integrated). Your learners will be working in community pharmacies, hospitals and other pharmacy settings across [England / region], and you'll be the person who gets them from day one through to achievement and, at Level 3, GPhC registration.

This is a hybrid role. You'll split your time between online group teaching sessions and visiting learners in their workplace settings to carry out observations, competency assessments and progress reviews. Between delivery and visits, you'll work from home.

What the role actually looks like

On teaching days, you'll plan and deliver engaging online sessions covering both standards — from dispensing procedures, pharmaceutical calculations and supply chain management at Level 2, through to the clinical governance, person-centred care, medicines optimisation and professional autonomy expected at Level 3. Your sessions need to be current, evidence-based and rooted in real pharmacy practice, not textbook theory delivered at arm's length.

On caseload days, you'll visit learners in their pharmacy settings to observe practice, assess competency against the apprenticeship standards, and provide coaching and feedback that actually moves them forward. You'll work with pharmacy managers and workplace supervisors to make sure learners are getting the right exposure and support on the job. You'll guide learners through portfolio development and preparation for End Point Assessment — and at Level 3, through the integrated assessment that leads to GPhC registration as a Pharmacy Technician.

Across both, you'll maintain accurate records, work within awarding body and GPhC regulatory requirements, and contribute to internal quality assurance and moderation activity.

GPhC-registered Pharmacy Technician (current registration)

CAVA (or equivalent assessor qualification: A1, TAQA, D32/D33)

AET, PTTLS, or equivalent teaching qualification

Substantial experience working in pharmacy — community, hospital, or other settings

What you'll get from us

A modern tech platform built in-house (not a clunky off-the-shelf system)

Autonomy to manage your own diary and workload
