We have an exciting opportunity to join our innovative Community-based Frailty Hospital at Home Team in the London Borough of Barnet.

• Hold a postgraduate qualification in pharmacy to at least Diploma level.
• Demonstrate sound knowledge of prescribing and medicines management across both primary and secondary care settings.

• Build positive working relationships with a wide range of health and social care professionals, including GPs, hospital clinicians, district nurses, community pharmacists, care coordinators, carers and families.
• Demonstrate compassion, flexibility, excellent communication skills and effective time management in delivering high-quality patient care.

Previous experience working within community health services or primary care is desirable but not essential.
