An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Pharmacy Technician to join our pharmacy teams in the Berkshire West Rural Primary Care Network based at Kintbury & Woolton Hill Surgeries.
The practices within the network are already experienced in working with Clinical Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians and this role provides a great opportunity to join a committed team as well as having access to national training through the NHS England Clinical Training Pathway and be part of a local network of clinical pharmacists/technicians.
We are looking for a motivated and forward-thinking Pharmacy Technician to join our clinical pharmacist and pharmacy technician at the practice.

We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic and adaptable to change, with excellent clinical skills and a good level of competence in use of I.T. Candidates should exhibit good organisational skills and ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of healthcare professionals and other stakeholders including patients, families and carers.
