A Vacancy at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.


An opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic pharmacy technician to join the Pharmacy Quality Assurance team based at York Hospital.

The Quality Assurance Team ensures that the quality of pharmacy services is effectively monitored and continually improves. As a member of this team, you will help implement and maintain all aspects of the pharmacy quality management system. You will monitor, test and maintain assets, such as the Trust fridge temperature monitoring and delivery systems. You will monitor the safe use of medical gases throughout the Trust. You will undertake and review audits and self-inspections for pharmacy services and the use of medicines. You will also write and review quality reports and participate in departmental quality meetings and audits for the Safe & Secure Handling of Medicines, Aseptics & Radiopharmacy and controlled drugs

We strive to develop the knowledge and skills of our workforce to enable them to advance personally and professionally and this is the ideal career development prospect. You will need to demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills, be very well organised and able to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

This post is open as a Band 5 position. Although we welcome applications for a developmental Band 4-5 position from pharmacy technicians registered within the last year or who will shortly be registered. This will be discussed at interview.

This post holder is responsible for quality assurance (QA) in the pharmacy department. The successful candidate will ensure compliance with legislation and medicines management standards.

Tasks include:
• Daily management of the Quality Management System, including document control, asset monitoring & management of deviations
• Writing quality reports
• Management of medical gas cylinders
• Temperature monitoring
• Report product defects
• Management of unlicensed medicines
• Internal audits and implement actions
• Health and safety

Recent experience of working as a pharmacy technician within a hospital environment is essential. Experience of working in aseptics or QA would be helpful but not essential as training will be given. All candidates should be positive about the extended role of pharmacy technicians and keen to develop themselves, their role and work of the team. You must be a qualified accredited checking technician (ACPT) or be willing to work towards this.

You will be based in the pharmacy department in York Hospital but may be required to work at other Trust on occasion. Core service hours are Monday to Friday 08:45 – 17:15. You will contribute to the weekend rota (1 in 8 weekends) and bank holiday rota (1 per year).
