Lead Clinical Pharmacist

Lead Clinical Pharmacist Near Maidstone, Kent

Background

This is a genuine leadership role: the clinical owner of medicines at a large practice, not a senior pharmacist title with extra admin attached. You will work closely with a Managing Partner who wants a clinical partner for the pharmacy team and will back your plans. Bring real vision and you will have the room to deliver it.

Sociable culture where learning is shared and nobody works in isolation

Line management of an established team of three pharmacists: rotas, appraisals and workflow
Flexible split between clinics and project work, with more project time for someone with real vision
