What is the job?

Every prescription represents a patient waiting for treatment - and the Pharmacy Experience Lead ensures their journey is as safe, simple and seamless as possible.

You’ll lead the day-to-day operations of our Pharmacy Support function, building a high-performing team that delivers timely, compassionate and consistently exceptional support. Using data, patient insight and hands-on coaching, you’ll raise performance, remove friction and continuously improve how we communicate with patients throughout their prescription journey.

Working across Pharmacy, Clinical, Technology and Patient Experience, you’ll turn recurring challenges into practical improvements that make a genuine difference. This is an opportunity to shape a critical part of the patient experience while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality and regulatory compliance.
