Pharmacist Independent Prescribing Lead (Postgraduate and Undergraduate)

DMU is an ambitious, truly globally-minded institution with a relentless focus on delivering high quality teaching and research. A culturally rich university with a strong commitment to the public good, it strives to maintain a stimulating, innovative and inclusive environment where staff and students are able to thrive.

Faculty / Directorate

Home to four specialist schools: Allied Health Sciences, Applied Social Sciences, Nursing and Midwifery, and Leicester School of Pharmacy, the faculty educates and develops professionals who make a significant difference to lives, health, wellbeing, communities and society. The Leicester School of Pharmacy has three UG programmes, including the highly regarded MPharm.

Teaching reflects the latest developments in the sector and many courses have professional accreditations. A range of work experience and volunteering opportunities enable students to develop the skills required by graduate employers. Recent graduates have secured roles with leading employers such as AstraZeneca, Ministry of Defence and the NHS.

Role

The Leicester School of Pharmacy has an excellent reputation for the delivery of both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The School invites applications from highly-motivated individuals to lead and teach on our Independent Prescribing programme. You will also be responsible for embedding independent prescribing skills and competencies within the undergraduate MPharm programme. You will be expected to make a full contribution to teaching. You will join an enthusiastic team working in modern teaching and research facilities.

Applicants interested in part-time work or a job share will be considered.

Ideal Candidate

You should have a degree in pharmacy and be registered with the GPhC. Experience of teaching at Higher Education level is desirable, but not essential for this role. The appointee will be expected to contribute to research and income generation within the Faculty. We also place high value on contributions to academic citizenship activity in the School. Ideally, we are looking for someone who is an independent prescriber.
