Overview
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
This vacancy does not meet the Home Office threshold for sponsorship; therefore we are unable to accept applications from candidates who do not have the right to work in the UK.
Role Overview
The Pharmacy Logistics Department at University Hospital Southampton offers opportunities for enthusiastic, reliable and friendly individuals who can work accurately as part of a supportive team. The main function of the role is to manage stock medicines for wards and units by visiting different areas of the hospital, including ordering, stock rotation and expiry monitoring using IT systems. This role involves liaising regularly with pharmacy and ward staff but does not involve direct patient contact.
As part of the larger pharmacy team we are constantly evolving to meet service demand.
Responsibilities
The main tasks of the role are:
- Stock management
- Ward based stock control
- Keeping drug cupboards tidy and organised
- Supporting projects to improve the service
Training and Development
You will be trained in-house, gaining competencies in aspects of pharmacy top up and distribution work. There may be an opportunity to gain a recognised accredited qualification in pharmacy supply if desired, but it is not essential for the role.
Team
We are a friendly diverse team of approximately 20 people working together aiming to provide the best possible service.
Location
University Hospital Southampton is one of England’s largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations. Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
Recruitment Comments
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial, as relying too heavily on generic, AI‑generated content may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
Working Environment
This is a physically demanding role based in a ward and store environment. Work on ward areas does not involve patient contact. The role can be strenuous with periods of repetitive lifting; a good standard of health, fitness and mobility is required.
Requirements
We are looking for friendly and reliable applicants. You will need to have:
- The ability to work in a team and independently
- Accurate work with attention to detail
- Good proven standard of numeracy and literacy
- IT skills
- A good standard of health, fitness and mobility, as this work can be strenuous with periods of repetitive lifting at times
- Good written and verbal communication skills
