Trosolwg o'r swydd
Are you ready for a new challenge? Want to progress research to improve patient care? We are looking for a hard-working, enthusiastic pharmacist who shares our Trust values to join our expanding clinical trials and research team at Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust.
Mersey Care is at the forefront of clinical trials for mental health, putting our staff and service users at the leading edge of new mental health research.

Mersey Care and the University of Liverpool have recently teamed up to create the Mental Health Research for Innovation Centre (M-RIC), aiming to improve mental health treatments (and access to them) for all patients and service users. The pharmacy clinical trials service plays an integral role through the development and delivery of Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products (CTIMPs).
To be the successful candidate, you should have excellent interpersonal, communication and time-management skills. You will be organised, reliable, willing to learn and able to work on your own initiative but also thrive when working within a supportive team.
