A great opportunity is now available for a Pharmacist to join the team at a leading Newcastle pharmacy, supporting high-quality community health and wellbeing services.

In a primarily residential area yet close to local amenities and bus links as well, the team is conveniently placed for visitors to go to for prescriptions, advice, and additional services for a varied range of health needs.

The pharmacy therefore typically sees plenty of bustle and activity, resulting in an engaging and convivial environment.

The team is strong and skilled, consisting of a mix of support professionals – who help to dispense an average of 6,000 items per month – and established senior staff.

This will enable you to focus more on additional pharmacy services and interacting with visitors directly, with services available currently including Pharmacy First, medications advice, emergency medicines, flu vaccinations, healthy lifestyle support and more.

A services-based bonus scheme in place to reward you and you’ll receive great, regular professional support, enabling you to access great CPD opportunities (including help to gain your Independent Prescribing if this is of interest to you), contribute to service development, and build closer relationships with people all across the community.

This is a permanent Pharmacist position with full-time and part-time options available.
