A fantastic opportunity has emerged for a passionate, highly motivated, and dynamic individual to lead our aseptic operational teams at Sutton and Chelsea.

This is an exciting time to join the Royal Marsden Hospital aseptics team as we are in the process of designing and building a new state of the art aseptic unit at our Sutton site. The post holder will lead on developing and implementing the operational strategy for the new aseptic unit.

This position is a cross-site role that will ensure consistent leadership and maintain the quality and efficiency of service at both hospital sites. Applicants must have significant previous experience as an aseptics technician and be registered with the GPhC.

You will lead the operational teams for the aseptic units at both sites and work collaboratively with senior pharmacists, to develop and deliver our pharmacy aseptic services.

We have recently established a centralised SACT Distribution Unit (SDU) at our Sutton hospital site to manage all externally compounded SACT items. The post holder will be responsible for leading and developing the SDU service, ensuring that an efficient and cost effective service is provided.
