Pharmacy Support Worker - Dispensaries

Start your Pharmacy Career with Purpose

We are now inviting applications for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our Pharmacy Dispensary team at Peterborough City Hospital as a full-time Band 2 Pharmacy Support Worker.

This is more than just a job. It is a genuine opportunity to build a career in pharmacy within a supportive NHS team that values development, progression, and innovation.

• Clear Band 2 to Band 3 progression pathway
• Full training and competency support
• Work alongside experienced pharmacists, technicians, and pharmacy teams
• Gain hands‑on experience across inpatient and outpatient dispensaries
• Be part of a service that directly impacts patient care every day

We actively support your development. If you do not already hold a recognised Pharmacy Assistant qualification (for example, Dispensing Assistant or Pharmacy Stock Management), you will be supported to achieve this within your first three months.

Following successful training and competency sign-off, you can progress to Band 3 within approximately 12 months.

With our newly developed Band 2 to 3 progression route, there has never been a better time to join the Pharmacy team at NWAFT.

If you are looking for a role where you can learn, grow and make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.
