Pharmacist Jobs at Dr Gray’s Hospital

If you’re looking for a role where you can develop your clinical expertise, work as part of a supportive team and enjoy a great quality of life, Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin could be the place for you.

We’re looking for a Specialist Pharmacist at Band 6 or Band 7 to join our Pharmacy Department. This is a full-time, permanent opportunity, with the potential for the post to be split between multiple post holders.

A role where every day is different

Our clinical pharmacists provide high-quality pharmaceutical care across a wide range of specialties. You’ll have the opportunity to use and develop your clinical skills in settings including acute medicine, general surgery and orthopaedics, working alongside other members of the multi professional team to ensure patients receive safe, effective and appropriate medicines.

You’ll provide clinical pharmacy input to individual patients, review medicines on admission, monitor treatment throughout a patient’s stay, support safe discharge and provide advice to patients, carers and healthcare professionals.

You’ll also contribute to medicines management, prescribing policies, clinical guidelines, audit, research, teaching and training – giving you the opportunity to make a real contribution to the quality and safety of patient care.

Develop your career with us

We provide a supportive learning environment where you can further develop your clinical skills and work towards your Royal College of Pharmacy Advanced Credentialing.

If you join us at Band 6, the post is a training post. You’ll be employed under Annex 21 of the Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions and paid at Band 6 during your training period while you complete post-registration foundation pharmacist credentialing. Once you have achieved this, you’ll move to Band 7. The expected timescales for achieving these will be agreed with you and communicated in writing by your Line Manager.

You’ll work as an independent practitioner, supported by experienced senior pharmacists, with opportunities to learn from and contribute to a wide-ranging, integrated Pharmacy Service.

More than just a job

Dr Gray’s Hospital is in Elgin, Moray, between the coast of the Moray Firth and the mountains of the Highlands and Cairngorm National Park.

Moray offers an excellent quality of life, with mountain sports, world-class fishing and golf, and some of Scotland’s finest whisky all on your doorstep. With beautiful surroundings, its own sheltered microclimate and superb schools, it’s a wonderful place to live as well as work.

And when you’re at work, you’ll be part of a team where no two days are the same, with the chance to develop your skills while providing high-quality pharmaceutical care.

No on-call.

Could this be your next move?

We’re looking for a pharmacist with full registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council, relevant post-registration experience (for band 7) and strong clinical pharmacy skills. Previous hospital pharmacy experience is desirable but not essential.

You’ll need to be motivated, adaptable and dependable, with the ability to work under pressure, communicate effectively with a range of healthcare professionals and provide a professional and empathetic service to patients and carers.

If you enjoy working collaboratively, want to build your clinical experience and are looking for a role in a beautiful part of Scotland, we’d love to hear from you.
