Job Description

Specialist Oncology Pharmacist – Private Acute Hospital

£56,000 (negotiable DOE) + Private Medical Insurance + 33 Days AL + Gym Membership + Much More!

Guildford

Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm


A leading private hospital in Guildford is looking for an experienced Specialist Oncology Pharmacist to take the lead in its oncology pharmacy service.


This is a genuinely clinical, patient-facing role, with the majority of your working week dedicated to oncology and haemato-oncology. You’ll have daily patient contact, be part of oncology huddles, counsel patients directly and play a key role in ensuring their treatment is safe, effective and personalised.


What’s on offer?


  • £56,000 with some flexibility for the right candidate
  • 25 days annual leave (plus 8 days bank holiday)
  • Monday–Friday only
  • No on-call or weekend work
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Free gym membership
  • Health and wellbeing benefits
  • Potential relocation support for the right candidate
  • Visa sponsorship available, subject to eligibility


Why this role?


  • Lead the oncology pharmacy service at site level
  • Have regular face-to-face contact with oncology and haemato-oncology patients
  • Screen and verify SACT prescriptions and support safe treatment decisions
  • Counsel patients and provide specialist medicines information
  • Work closely with consultants and the wider oncology MDT
  • Support and develop colleagues in oncology competencies
  • Be part of a small, supportive pharmacy team with access to a wider oncology network
  • Develop your clinical leadership without stepping away from patient care


What you’ll bring


You’ll need to be an experienced oncology pharmacist who is confident working independently and ready to take ownership of the oncology service. You'll have:

  • UK GPhC registration — essential
  • At least 2–3 years’ oncology pharmacy experience within an NHS or private provider
  • BOPA Passport Level 2 with evidence of screening Cycle 1 oncology and haematology prescriptions
  • Experience screening and verifying oncology/haemato-oncology SACT prescriptions
  • Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with patients and clinical teams
  • Ideally, experience supervising or training colleagues


You’ll be supported by the Pharmacy Manager and the wider oncology pharmacy network — but this is a role for someone who already has a solid oncology foundation and is ready to lead from the front.


As the site's lead oncology pharmacist, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the service, share your expertise and help develop the oncology capability of the wider team. And because you’re not tied up in aseptic production, your specialist knowledge can stay where it has the greatest impact, with your patients.


Ready to put clinical care first?


If you’re an oncology pharmacist who wants more patient contact, more clinical ownership and less time away from the bedside, we’d love to hear from you.

This isn’t just another oncology pharmacy role. It’s an opportunity to make your specialist expertise count — every day, with the patients who need it most.


Location


Based in Guildford and commutable from Leatherhead, Frimley, Farnborough, Aldershot, Woking, Cobham, West Byfleet, Godalming and Cranleigh.
