More detail about the role

This post provides a unique opportunity to join the pharmacy team at the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and provide pharmaceutical care across Cancer Services (oncology and haematology).

The post holder will be embedded into the experienced Eastern cancer services pharmacy team which includes seven cancer services clinical pharmacists and two specialist medicines management technicians. Together the team provides oncology and haematology ward support, Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) verification, clinical trial SACT verification, and JACIE accredited transplant service support. The team works closely with the multi-disciplinary cancer services team including doctors, nurses and non-medical prescribers.

As a key member of the Trust, youll be joining an exceptional team working together to help our patients when they need it most.

We are looking for a self-motivated candidate who is able to work both independently and effectively as part of our team. The candidate would need to be able to provide a competent and efficient ward-based service, while supporting other members of the team with the timely verification of SACT for our main and outreach sites.

You will be joining our team at an exciting time, as we become further integrated into multidisciplinary developments within the wider cancer SACT service. In April the Trust implemented Beacon, the SACT prescribing module of EPIC, and began working as OneDevon, streamlining cancer care provision across the South West peninsula.

Our prescribing pharmacists are committed to supporting non-medical prescribing (NMP), and the SACT day-case unit, with all our current pharmacists being qualified prescribers or in training to become a prescriber. We have pharmacist work stations in our integrated haematology/oncology SACT day unit to provide excellent patient focused care.

As valued members of the cancer services team, and with plenty of scope to develop in the role, our pharmacists enjoy a high level of job satisfaction.

Working Pattern: 37.5 hours per week (full time). Requirement to participate in 7 day working to include on-call, late duties, bank holidays and weekend working.

Interview Date: Tuesday 18th August 2026.
