Pharmacist - Expression of Interest

Job Description

As a hospital pharmacist you will likely work with the SHA with a team of pharmacy technicians, pharmacists, nurses, therapists and physicians. Hospital pharmacists work in many different areas within the SHA including Acute Care, Ambulatory Care or Primary Health-Care. Your role may include management of pharmacy staff, consultation on medication with other members of the health-care team and patients, teaching, conducting research, and managing alternative therapy programs for patients. In regards to shift work, bigger centre pharmacies can operate 24/7 meaning that you will need to be available to work evenings and night shifts. Smaller centres in rural communities may operate on a more regular schedule so you may not be required to work evenings or weekends. In terms of work and career development, the SHA has standardized processes to maintain quality care across the province and has access to resources for you to continue to develop your skills. There are also opportunities to move into management and other leadership roles in order to progress your career.
