Band 7/8a Progression Post
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our dynamic and compassionate team at Singleton Hospital, which hosts the South West Wales Cancer Centre. Our leading Cancer Centre specialises in providing comprehensive, patient-centred inpatient and outpatient Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT), radiotherapy services, and autologous stem cell transplant as part of the South Wales Blood and Marrow Transplant Programme.
Successful candidates will be appointed to either of the following roles dependant on qualifications:
- Advanced Pharmacist - Band 8a
If personal specification is met and experience supports appointment.
- Clinical Pharmacist - Band 7
The successful candidate with a current level of experience that supports appointment to a clinical pharmacist role but requires further training to support an advanced practice role will be appointed to the Band 7 for a minimum 12-month period.
The candidate will follow a structured training programme with support from senior mentors and will focus on building and developing key skills, aptitudes and competency through experience, feedback and assessment.
On successful attainment of the competencies to the required level, the candidate will be appointed to an Advanced Pharmacist Band 8a and will work to the Job Description commensurate to that post.
Our Pharmacy Cancer Team are well integrated into the multidisciplinary team and operate a wide range of non-medical prescriber clinics and organisation of homecare services. As a Specialist Cancer Services Pharmacist, this role will be pivotal to the provision and development of an advanced pharmaceutical care service for haematology and oncology patients.
The day-to-day delivery of pharmacy services to haematology and oncology patients, will involve working closely with clinician and nursing teams to provide specialist clinical expertise to ensure patients receive the best pharmaceutical care.
It is an ideal role for a pharmacist wanting experience of providing care to cancer patients and who is keen to step up in a supportive, innovative working environment. However, specific cancer experience is not essential, and we can provide clinical training to the right candidate.
Your experience will have been gained working in a patient focussed environment using your knowledge and skills to improve patient care and promote optimal outcomes from medicines, including experience of undertaking research and/or audit.
In addition, the role will require the ongoing completion of core directorate activities such as reporting and analysis of medicines expenditure, clinical governance and risk management.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
