Job Description

Are you interested in a rewarding new career in Pharmacy? Earn whilst you learn with a two year Pharmacy Technician Apprenticeship!

We are looking for motivated, enthusiastic and reliable individuals to join our team as Pre-Registration Pharmacy Technicians (PTPTs).

Candidates must have a minimum of 4 GCSEs (or equivalent) including Maths, English and Science at Grade 4/C or above, be able to demonstrate they are committed to a career in Pharmacy and will ideally have some previous pharmacy experience. Evidence of essential qualifications must be provided prior to interview. Other qualifications will be considered on an individual basis.

All posts are fixed term for 2 years with a full-time contract of 37.5 hours per week and require participation in the late night, weekend and Bank Holiday rotas.

Candidates will need to be available to start in February 2026.

Interview Date: 1st December 2025

Throughout the two year post, PTPTs will gain practical experience and develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours across rotational opportunities in dispensary, pharmacy stores, community pharmacy and hospital wards. This is whilst undertaking a distance learning apprenticeship delivered by an accredited external education provider.

By the end of the two years PTPTs will:

  • Have attained a Pharmacy Technician (Integrated) Level 3 Apprenticeship
  • Be eligible to register as a Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)
  • Be able to apply for Pharmacy Technician roles nationally

A considerable amount of additional study will be required in the student’s own time. The successful candidate must have good time management skills both in and out of work due to the pressure of undertaking the qualification, and being in full time employment. A learning contract must be adhered to at all times.

Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues. UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme. This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have about this at interview.

Please note if the role or service is relocated as part of a planned move, employees will not be eligible for excess mileage reimbursement. Travel from the postholder's home to the new work base will be considered a normal commute. Any other changes not related to this relocation will be managed according to the relevant Trust or National terms and conditions.
