We have an exciting opportunity for two Lead Critical Care Pharmacists to take on new, structured leadership roles within our Critical Care pharmacy teams. One post is based at the Royal Liverpool site and one at the Aintree site.
You will provide senior clinical expertise to your respective unit, supporting some of the most complex and high‑acuity critically ill patients in the region, while offering clear direction, organisation, and strategic oversight to the wider team. The RLH site hosts a wide range of highly specialised surgical services, while AUH is a designated Major Trauma Centre for the region, together offering exposure to clinical scenarios and units rarely seen elsewhere.
You will lead a dedicated group of pharmacists and technical staff on your site, ensuring the delivery of a consistent, high‑quality, evidence‑based pharmacy service, while working collaboratively across both sites. Working closely with intensivists, anaesthetists, and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to safe, innovative, and forward‑thinking medicines optimisation for critically ill patients.
These roles require substantial hospital pharmacy experience, with essential experience in Critical Care, and the ability to structure team workflows, support staff development, and contribute to ongoing service planning at both site and Trust level. You will bring advanced clinical knowledge, strong leadership capability, and a commitment to driving excellence.
