Clinical Pharmacy Supervisor
(Christchurch & ChCh Womens'Hospitals)

Looking for the next move in your career? Wanting an opportunity to take on an exciting and stimulating role as the leader of a great team? Keen to develop clinical pharmacy services and promote the role of pharmacists within the healthcare team? Then we have the job for you! If you are a New Zealand Registered Pharmacist, holding a current APC with the Pharmacy Council of NZ and with a minimum of 5 years hospital pharmacy experience (preferably across a range of specialities), then this may well be the opportunity of your lifetime. Previous supervisory/management experience would be an advantage, as would a post-graduate qualification in clinical pharmacy. The principal objective of this position is to provide daily supervision, rostering and service development for a team of around 20 clinical pharmacists and associated services at this 750-bed site. Reporting to the Pharmacy Manager based at Christchurch Hospital, you will provide leadership and direction in clinical pharmacy for both your team and the wider Pharmacy Service group. Key liaison relationships include the Director of Allied Health and Directors of Nursing. Duties will include a regular clinical pharmacy attachment. The Clinical Supervisor is an integral part of the departmental and service management teams, deputising for the Pharmacy Manager at times. A significant service revision is underway, involving a move away from supply-based services to enable the development of comprehensive clinical services for the DHB. You will need to be a flexible, enthusiastic person, able to work well within a multi-disciplinary team environment, prioritising your time and efforts into the areas of maximal benefit. You should be able to relate well to patients, carers and colleagues. Effective computer, written and oral communication skills are required.

Are you an experienced Clinical Pharmacist looking for your next challenge? We have an exciting opportunity for you to join us at MercyAscot!

We are New Zealand's largest private surgical facility with 22 theatres across 3 sites including an Intensive Care Unit and Coronary Care facilities. Working within a supportive team is standard practice, as is competitive remuneration.
Our Clinical Pharmacy team is responsible for ensuring high quality medicines management for our inpatients and outpatients along with participating in the dispensary, on-call and Saturday morning rosters.

The successful candidate will need a current New Zealand practicing certificate and a minimum of 1 year's experience in a clinical pharmacy role within a hospital setting. You will also need to have great communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders. The completion of post graduate Pharmacy papers would be an advantage. This is a fixed term contract covering a period of parental leave with the expected start date for this role to be in August and the length of the contract to be confirmed shortly. Although we are ideally looking to fill this role on a fulltime basis (40 hours per week), for the right candidate, there may be some flexibility to undertake this role at reduced hours.
