We are very excited to be offering this newly funded innovative collaborative post between Pharmacy services across NHS Highland and Islands and the Highland Pharmacy Education & Research Centre (HPERC). The hours are flexible and the base location negotiable.
We are looking for a creative, dynamic and highly motivated Pharmacy Technician who has an interest in developing others to lead on education and training for our growing numbers of Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technicians (PTPT's).

We welcome applications from pharmacy technician registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council with extensive post registration experience having ideally worked in more than one sector of pharmacy practice.
