### Job overview

We are keen to recruit an enthusiastic, forward-thinking pharmacist to continue to lead and develop clinical pharmacy services within our Hammersmith and Fulham (H&F) MINT (Mental Health Integrated Network Teams) Services. The successful candidate will work together with the Band 8a pharmacists for Ealing MINT and Hounslow MINT and the Band 6 Medicines Management Technician for the Early Intervention Teams and Community Rehabilitation Teams to build on the excellent work that has been undertaken within our working-age adult community-based services to date.

The successful candidate will be a highly motivated individual with good communication skills and a keen interest in mental health who derives satisfaction from developing both the service and pharmacy colleagues. The applicant should be able to work well both in a team and autonomously.

### Main duties of the job

The candidate will provide training and development on medicines management in mental health to junior and trainee staff, including trainee pharmacists, pre-registration pharmacy technicians and visiting trainee pharmacists.
