Permanent

We recently went into partnership with Bournemouth University and, with the merger of Poole Hospital and Royal Bournemouth & Christchurch Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts, became University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust this is a really exciting time to join us!

Our ambitious multi-million pound plans to develop our sites are well underway, including developing RBH as the major acute and emergency hospital in East Dorset, PH as the major planned care hospital, and ambitious plans for Christchurch to support on-going patient treatment.

Joining UHD gives you the opportunity to enjoy all that Dorset has to offer. Bournemouth is a vibrant university town , and Poole has a large natural harbour and is perfect for water sports or relaxing at a quayside restaurant.

With both the New Forest and Isle of Purbeck on our doorstep, over 7 miles of stunning sandy beaches and coastal paths, we are located within an area of amazing beauty providing a great place for you to achieve your rewarding work life balance.


We have a fantastic opportunity for a senior hospital pharmacy technician to join our innovative and forward thinking teams at University Hospitals Dorset as our Lead Technician: Commercial Services. University Hospitals Dorset is one of the largest NHS organisations in the South West with two major acute hospitals in the popular seaside resorts of Bournemouth and Poole. We are able to offer a wealth of developmental and fully funded training opportunities and a huge breadth of specialities and experience.

We are looking for a dynamic, friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic senior technician to lead on our highly regarded commercial services. Our commercial services are key partners for the trust providing high quality outpatient pharmacy services. We have an outpatient Boots branch at Bournemouth Hospital and an outpatient Lloyds Pharmacy branch at Poole Hospital. This post is the key liaison officer for both services bridging the gap between the hospital and our external partners. Clear communications is key to the role as is a good head for financial reports and monitoring of service specifications and performance indicators.

The Pharmacy departments at UHD are friendly, forward thinking and are constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve the service. We’ve embraced medicines optimisation, robotic automation, electronic prescribing and administration of medicines (EPMA) and seven day working.

Informal visits and enquiries are fully supported and encouraged. The post holder would be expected to work at both Poole and Bournemouth Hospitals.
