Job summary

Love the wards but get your biggest buzz from watching someone else's clinical reasoning click into place? This role lets you do both - properly.

We're recruiting a Specialist Clinical Pharmacist - Clinical Practice Educator to join our team at Good Hope Hospital. For 60% of your week, you'll be a lead clinical pharmacist: running the clinical service on your wards, line-managing a team and acting as the site lead for clinical practice education.

The other 40% is dedicated to education. You'll be the Good Hope lead for pharmacy placements with Aston University, shaping how MPharm students experience hospital practice and inspiring the next generation of hospital pharmacists. From undergraduates to trainee and early careers pharmacists, you'll have a real say in how pharmacists are trained here.

Good Hope is easy to reach from central Birmingham by public transport. If you're a confident clinician who wants education to be a defined part of your job, not something squeezed in around it, we'd love to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

Your week splits 60/40: clinical leadership on the wards, and planning and overseeing undergraduate placements and projects on site.

As lead pharmacist, you'll run day-to-day clinical pharmacy services on your wards - screening prescriptions, reconciling medicines, interpreting therapeutic drug levels and, once qualified, prescribing. You'll represent pharmacy to your specialty, drive service developments and line-manage pharmacists, technicians, assistants and trainees.

As Clinical Practice Educator, you'll lead practice-based placements at UHB for Aston University pharmacy students, contribute to placement-linked assessment, help design placement learning with the university and supervise final-year projects. You'll also be a line manager and educational supervisor for early careers pharmacists and mentor to rotational pharmacists.

We're looking for an experienced hospital pharmacist with a postgraduate clinical qualification (or equivalent experience), confidence teaching others and genuine enthusiasm for education.

What you'll get:

*A defined education role with real influence, not a token add-on

*Leadership and line management experience in a supportive clinical team

*Protected learning time built into your working week

*Support toward non-medical prescribing (NMP), if not already qualified

*Health, wellbeing and family benefits, including NHS discounts at retailers, restaurants and leisure facilities
