Senior Lecturer in Pharmacy

Location: Singleton Campus, Swansea

About The Role

This is a Permanent full-time post.

The Medical School is recruiting a Senior Lecturer in Pharmacy to contribute to the pharmacy practice subject theme and play a leading role in the management of MPharm placements.

A Senior Lecturer with expertise in Pharmacy Practice is being sought to support the expansion of the MPharm programme and to help fully prepare graduates for their expanding clinical roles within the pharmacy workforce.

Playing a leading role in the management of MPharm undergraduate placements, applicants will typically be GPhC-registered pharmacists, ideally with independent prescriber annotation, however, pharmacists registered overseas, GPhC-registered pharmacy technicians, or non-pharmacists with significant pharmacy experience can also be considered if they meet the person specification criteria. The role is open to applicants with a background in higher education or with experience in other sectors of the pharmacy profession.

The Swansea curriculum incorporates inter‐professional education, public and patient involvement, enhanced placement learning and clinical skills, all underpinned by fundamental scientific principles forming an integrated programme that is at the vanguard of pharmacy education. You will work closely with colleagues in the Practice of Pharmacy Teaching Group, and you will also play an important role in community stakeholder involvement and relationship building, particularly amongst placement partners and patient and public volunteers.

It is our intention to help students become pharmacists who are leaders in their profession, be that through the clinical management of patients, the discovery and development of new medicines or through improved community health. Our aim is to deliver a programme that meets the current and future needs of the pharmacy profession in Wales, inspires and attract ambitious students, and supports the long-term ambitions of the Pharmacy: Delivering a Healthier Wales vision.

You'll be joining a friendly and encouraging community of pharmacy academics and a wider group of supportive healthcare professional colleagues across the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science. Swansea is a great place to live and work, the gateway to the Gower with its fantastic beaches and close to the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons).
