Pharmacy Technician

We have an exciting opportunity for a registered Pharmacy Technician to join the Community Directorate Pharmacy Service within our Nithsdale Cluster.

We are looking for a motivated, proactive and enthusiastic Pharmacy Technician to work as part of our GP practice clinical pharmacy service, supporting patients across our Pharmacy Hubs and GP practices.

You will join a friendly and supportive team of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy support workers who play a key role within the primary care multidisciplinary team. The team supports medicines management, medication review and the safe and effective use of medicines across Dumfries and Galloway.

In this rewarding role, you will provide a clinical pharmacy service directly to patients. Day-to-day responsibilities may include medicines reconciliation within the Hub, delivering face‑to‑face clinics in GP practices, carrying out medication reviews with patients, responding to medicines‑related queries and assessing patients’ ability to manage their medicines. This may also include visits to patients in their own homes.

You will work closely with GP practice staff, colleagues in acute services, community pharmacies and wider Health and Social Care teams to support safe, effective and joined‑up patient care.

Education, training and development are extremely important to us. You will be supported by a comprehensive induction plan and will have access to ongoing development opportunities, including support from our dedicated education and training team. This will be particularly valuable for candidates joining the Community Directorate Pharmacy Team from another sector.

For further information about the role and the skills and experience required, please refer to the job description and person specification.

We would welcome interest from candidates who are currently completing their Pharmacy Technician Qualification and approaching the end of their training.
