Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust; Huddersfield; On-site; GBP 30,000 - 60,000

Job description

You will be a motivated, enthusiastic and patient-focused pharmacist to further enhance our friendly and experienced team. You will be involved in all aspects of the pharmacy outpatient service and will receive appropriate training for the clinical computer systems in use at CHFT.

You will have excellent problem-solving skills and can demonstrate robust decision-making skills. You will be part of the pharmacist team providing clinical and professional leadership to the CHS Pharmacy team.

Responsibilities:

• Act as responsible pharmacist and ensure that all activities in CHS Pharmacy are consistent with GPhC requirements.
• Provide clinical and professional leadership to the CHS Pharmacy team.
• Collaborate with healthcare professionals to optimise patient care.
• Contribute to the day-to-day operations of CHS Pharmacy.
• Ability to work effectively either independently or in a team.

CHS is an exceptional place to work with many amazing teams of hard-working and dedicated staff, delivering high standards of estates, facilities, clinical engineering and procurement services to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and other customers. From May 2025, CHS will start to provide the pharmacy outpatient dispensing service for CHFT patients.

The Trust itself is currently reconfiguring its services, supported by £196.5m of capital funding from the Department of Health and Social Care to invest in local health services at both Calderdale Royal Hospital (CRH) and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI). This is a significant investment and an opportunity to enhance services for our populations in Calderdale, Huddersfield and West Yorkshire for generations to come.

These developments will provide better care for patients in modern, comfortable surroundings and support delivery of leading-edge hospital services as well as providing an exceptional and environmentally sustainable working environment to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce.

Obviously, this is an exciting time for us as we continue to develop our commercial strategy and bring services in-house. We are ensuring that the organisation is fit for purpose by embedding our values and behaviours. The four key behaviours underpinning the whole of our strategy are:

• We put the patient first.
• We 'go see'.
• We work together to get results.
• We do the must-dos.
