The University is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce, supports the gender equality Athena SWAN Charter and the Race Equality Charter, and champions LGBT+ equality.
The Reading School of Pharmacy is seeking an outstanding individual to take on the responsibility for all aspects of undergraduate placement support, focussing on the MPharm (Pharmacy) programme (full time, permanent post). The 4 year programme includes up to 18 weeks of placement for approximately 550 students, within various healthcare sectors. This is a full-time, permanent position commencing as soon as possible.

You will be responsible in ensuring that all contractual paperwork is completed by students, employers and the University, and the placements providers meet the necessary Quality Assurance requirements. You will also be pivotal to ensuring that our students are supported during their placement journey on the programme.
As a vital member of a wider School team, you will work collaboratively to ensure that services are efficient, effective and adapt to changing circumstances, developing on established systems and processes that meet the University and Regulatory Body (General Pharmaceutical Council) accreditation requirements.

- A degree/postgraduate level in an appropriate healthcare-related discipline
- Strong knowledge of the NHS and the wider healthcare sector (primary and secondary care)
