Applicants must be registered as a Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) or as a Registered Science Technician (RSciTech) with the Science Council or be eligible and intending to register with the relevant professional body within the current year.

The ideal candidate will hold accredited checking qualifications for both dispensed medicines and pre- and in-process checking within aseptic preparation services. However, applicants who do not currently meet all the requirements of the Band 5 role are encouraged to apply and, if successful, will need to attain the qualifications within a maximum of 18 months and will be appointed under Annex 21 rules. This means they will be supported by a development plan. (During the first year, payment will be 70% of the top rate of band 5 pay, and the second year 75%). Following successful passing of the checking accreditations, the post holder will then be paid at Band 5 (minimum point on the scale). Support and supervision will be provided in order to develop the successful applicant to the Band 5 role. Failure to achieve the qualification in the designated timeframe could result in re-deployment.

This post may be included in a forthcoming organisational change process, to create the Transforming Access to Medicines (TrAMs) Service. The nature and timescales of the proposed change will be subject to consultation in conjunction with the All-Wales Organisational Change Policy. There is no anticipated risk to employment due to this change. Please contact the recruiting manager if you wish to discuss this further.
