We have opened a 'Moving On' rehabilitation unit in Spring 2022 in Wesham, based on the former Wesham Rehabilitation site on Mowbreck Lane. The unit has 24 beds for people who have been in hospital and need some support to regain skills and confidence with everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and looking after their own health and wellbeing.
The Moving On service provides a model of rehabilitation care which focuses on empowering the service user to gain or recover their confidence and skills that promote independence, autonomy, and encourage hope for the future, whilst in recovery of a mental health illness.
We are looking for a highly motivated pharmacist with a specific interest in mental health rehabilitation services who would like the opportunity to apply for this exciting role.
Hospital and/or mental health experience is desirable but not essential as we have an in-house award-winning training programme to support the successful candidate. We are also able to offer the successful candidate the opportunity to complete the Aston University distance learning Postgraduate Certificate in Psychiatric Therapeutics, which is accredited by the College of Mental Health Pharmacy (CMHP). We can also offer other courses and training events to support future clinical, professional, and personal development.
Main duties of the job
The main duties of the post holder will be to provide a patient-focused clinical pharmacy service to service users in an inpatient setting specialising in rehabilitation for those with enduring mental health problems. You will be expected to provide a high level of pharmaceutical care to patients as part of the wider multi-disciplinary team, participate in consultant ward reviews, undertake clinical audits, and be actively involved in the education and training of less experienced pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.
