Advanced Oncology Pharmacist

Fixed term maternity leave cover post (part-time 30 hours)

As the demand for cancer care continues to grow, our vision remains: to deliver exemplar pharmacy services to patients undergoing treatment at the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre.

We are excited to offer this opportunity within the well-established oncology pharmacy team. The primary aims of the post are to develop and deliver a specialist pharmacist prescriber role in oncology clinics, support colleagues to do the same, and contribute to the wider delivery of clinical pharmacy services to the Oncology Division.

This post requires a postgraduate clinical pharmacy qualification and specialist experience in oncology, haemato-oncology, and palliative care. We would endeavour to support any relevant personal/career development training when in post., Royal Surrey Cancer Centre is based within Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust in Guildford. As a regional cancer centre, there is expertise in a wide range of cancers, and services are offered to patients across Surrey and the South East. Outreach services are delivered in collaboration with neighbouring acute trusts as well as a mobile treatment unit service. The Royal Surrey Protocols and Policies provide the basis for off-trial treatment. There is also a strong portfolio of clinical research.

The successful applicant would join an experienced team of specialist pharmacy staff who provide a comprehensive service to oncology, haemato-oncology and surgical oncology patients.

The base for much of the work will be the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre. You would liaise with the team in the dispensary (RSCH Pharmacy Ltd) and the aseptic unit but this role does not include direct responsibility in these areas.

Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family will ensure you that you feel valued from your initial interview through your entire tenure.
