Care Group Pharmacist (Women and Newborn) | University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

Please see below for detailed job description of the role.

Join Us as the Care Group Pharmacist for Women & Newborn at University Hospital Southampton

A rare and exciting opportunity has opened within our Women & Newborn Care Group due to the retirement of our much valued post holder. We’re looking for a passionate, forward thinking Care Group Pharmacist to become a key part of our dynamic clinical pharmacy team at University Hospital Southampton.

As part of Division C (Family Health & Support Services), you’ll work closely with the Lead Neonatal Pharmacist and Divisional Lead Pharmacist, supported by a dedicated Band 7 Women’s Health Pharmacist and rotational colleagues. This is your chance to shape and elevate the clinical pharmacy service across Women’s Health, Maternity, Foetal Medicine and Neonatal care.

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
