We have a state-of-the-art new unit that has undergone extensive refurbishment. This is an exciting time for you to join our team and work in a brand-new facility.
The Lister Pharmacy Aseptic team is a growing and progressive team that makes personalised medicines, mainly injectable chemotherapy doses, in clean room environments for our Trust's patients.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.
You will be expected to follow strict standard operating procedures in the preparation of drug products.
Aseptic preparation of medicines and assembling and transferring drugs and consumables into the clean rooms.
Creating documentation using pharmacy software systems.
Conducting cleaning of aseptic rooms and associated equipment.
Supporting stock maintenance of drugs and consumables.
Applicants are required to be able to work methodically and have rigorous attention to detail. You must be willing to meet the strict personal requirements for clean room working and be dexterous to undertake aseptic preparation, including the manipulation and use of needles and syringes.
In house training and accreditation will be provided to achieve the required level of competency; on-going validation of aseptic technique is a requirement of the post.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general & specialist services we provide & our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible & innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
