Job overview

We are excited to welcome enthusiastic and committed Registered Pharmacy Technicians to join our friendly and supportive team. This is a great chance to build your career in pharmacy, working alongside experienced colleagues in a busy hospital environment.

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring relevant pharmacy experience, a BTEC/NVQ Level 3 (Pharmaceutical Sciences) qualification or equivalent, and registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). While hospital pharmacy experience is an advantage, it isn’t essential — this could be the perfect first step into hospital practice, as we provide full training across all areas to help you develop your skills.

You’ll play an important part in delivering safe and effective patient care, and in return you’ll gain valuable experience, ongoing professional development, and the chance to contribute to a service that makes a real difference. Flexibility is key, as the role includes participation in extended hours, weekends, and bank holidays on a rotational basis — giving you exposure to a wide range of pharmacy services

• The role also requires keeping accurate records, following strict safety procedures, and contributing to improvements in the pharmacy.
• Flexibility is important, as you may need to work evenings, weekends, or bank holidays, and take on extra responsibilities when required.

Working for our organisation

Our Poppy’s Promise Commitment

We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team —  clinical or non-clinical — plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.

We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising  individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.

Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a  meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.

By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
