Delivery of high-quality clinical pharmacy services for mental health patients in line with local and national standards and policies, ensuring the safe, clinical and cost-effective use of medicines.

A key component of the role is ensuring a high level of clinical pharmacy input to the care of mental health in-patients and community patients and supporting the education of pharmacy and other multidisciplinary staff groups on relevant mental health and medicines-related matters.

We are open to consideration of part time and flexible working requests.

Cross-site working will be required so it is essential to be a car driver with access to own transport. We have 3 bases around the Trust; Bridgwater, Taunton and Yeovil. Your base will be dependent upon your home location, and you may be required to travel to hospital sites within approximately 45 minutes of your base.
