We have a fantastic opportunity for a Pharmacist to join our friendly, established and respected team, in contributing to and developing the pharmacy service provided to mental health inpatient services in Derby and Chesterfield.
We provide all our pharmacy staff with opportunities for development, including full funding for post‑graduate qualifications in mental health pharmacy, including the certificate and diploma through Aston University, and independent prescribing qualification if required. Those who join at Band 6 would be fully supported through an internal pathway to progress to a Band 7 specialist role.
