We are currently recruiting for an experienced Oncology Pharmacist to support an NHS service on an initial 2–3 month locum contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a predominantly remote position. The successful pharmacist will initially need to attend site in Dorchester, Dorset for approximately 1–2 weeks for induction and training, before moving to fully remote working. A Trust laptop will be provided.

The role

The day-to-day workload will primarily involve:

  • Oncology prescription screening

  • Haematology prescription screening

  • Clinical verification of systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT)

  • Working alongside the wider oncology/haematology pharmacy team

  • Ensuring safe and appropriate prescribing in line with Trust protocols

Requirements

  • GPhC-registered Pharmacist

  • Strong oncology and/or haematology pharmacy experience

  • Experience screening oncology/SACT prescriptions

  • BOPA SACT Passport highly desirable and will be given preference

  • Candidates without the BOPA Passport may still be considered depending on their oncology experience

  • Ideally operating at Band 8a level, although experienced Band 8b pharmacists are also welcome

This is an ASAP requirement, initially for 2–3 months, although there is a possibility of the contract continuing beyond this.
