We are seeking a dedicated Pharmacist to join our dynamic Slade Pharmacy Albert Street team at Epworth Freemasons Hospital East Melbourne. In this role, you will deliver high-quality clinical pharmacy services to inpatients and assist in the dispensary, ensuring all pharmacy operations meet our rigorous standards while promoting the safe and effective use of medicines.

This is a fantastic opportunity to advance your career within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team that embraces innovation, growth, and continual improvement in patient care. We offer hands-on training to facilitate a seamless transition into hospital pharmacy, and we welcome community pharmacists eager to transition into the hospital setting to apply.

Epworth Freemasons is a convenient 5-minute walk from Jolimont station and a 15-minute walk through Fitzroy Gardens from Parliament Station.

• Contributing to training and educational sessions for pharmacy staff, nursing staff, medical personnel, and allied health professionals.
• Assisting in overseeing imprest services and ensuring the continuity of medication supply.
• Considering the financial implications of medication use both within the hospital and for patients obtaining medicines in the community.
