Registration Assessment Adjustment Advisers

We are a respected regulatory body that regulates pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacies in Great Britain. We work to assure and improve standards of care for people using pharmacy services. One of the main ways we do this is by ensuring the quality of pharmacy education and training.

We are proud of our diverse and inclusive culture and are committed to holding ourselves to the same standards we expect of others.

We are looking for people across the United Kingdom to support the GPhC Board of Assessors as a Registration Assessment Adjustment Adviser. The roles are offered on a part-time and fixed term basis.

Registration Assessment Adjustment Advisers provide expert advice and guidance to the Board of Assessors to ensure that reasonable adjustments are applied appropriately for candidates sitting the Pharmacist Registration Assessment.

This is an opportunity for candidates with professional expertise relating to the area of disability to support the GPhC Board of Assessors in ensuring the appropriate application of the Equality Act 2010 (and NI equivalents).

Each year we hold two national registration assessments for foundation trainee pharmacists. Each assessment comprises of two papers. Part 1 is a 40-item calculation paper and part 2 is a 120-item multiple choice paper. More information on the registration assessment can be found on our website.

Registration Assessment Adjustment Advisers will use their professional knowledge and judgement to consider applications for reasonable adjustments from candidates who are sitting the registration assessment. Advisers will work collaboratively on adjustment panels to reach decisions on complex requests.
