Due to a promotion within the team, an exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced pharmacy professional with a passion for Quality Assurance and a drive for excellence to join us within the North East and Yorkshire Pharmaceutical Purchasing Consortium (NEYPPC) team, focused on medicines products and services.

This role is ideal for a highly motivated pharmacy technician to support the quality assurance element of the NEYPPC, and will involve ensuring that medicines and services are managed to maintain the highest standard of quality and safety, plus that these are purchased in an efficient cost effective manner, and that all standards, professional, statutory and operational are met.

The North East & Yorkshire Pharmaceuticals Purchasing Consortium is a collaborative NHS organisation that works with customers using procurement and commercial expertise to drive value and efficiencies across the NHS.
