The Pharmacist Network places clinical pharmacy teams — pharmacists and pharmacy technicians — into GP practices and PCNs across the UK. We’re pharmacist-led, clinically driven, and growing. We’re looking for someone to join our senior team and help us develop those partnerships further.
What we’re looking for
You’ll need to have worked in GP as a pharmacist and understand — from the inside — how practices and PCNs operate. That’s the foundation everything else is built on.
Beyond that:
GPhC registered | IP qualified Experienced in NHS primary care with a genuine understanding of GP pharmacy workforce models Comfortable in commercial conversations as well as clinical ones Strong communicator — you can present confidently to a room and build rapport quickly Self-directed — you can manage your own time and priorities without being chased Full UK driving licence
Why this role
It’s not a clinical role in the traditional sense — but the clinical credibility is what makes it work. You’ll be talking to people who understand pharmacy, and your background is what gets the conversation started.
What you’ll get:
Competitive base salary, dependent on experience A clear, transparent commission structure Full travel expenses Real autonomy — you manage your activity Access to our leadership team and a genuine input into how we grow
