Registered Pharmacist - Part Time

Are you an experienced Pharmacist? AXA Health’s Support Team is a medical information helpline, made up of nurses, midwives, counsellors and pharmacists, providing expert help to our customers whatever their healthcare needs. When our customers have a health question, it’s good to know there’s someone to talk things through, day or night. Whatever the need, our medical professionals are here to put minds at ease, so they are not worrying a minute more than they must.

You’ll provide expert medical support and guidance. Part of an experienced and established team, you’ll have the opportunity to be part of the team's evolution and improve services for our customers. You'll be provided with all the necessary equipment and training to carry out the role. There will be regular opportunities for professional updating for your ongoing registration requirements.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You’ll work most shifts from home but will need to work from our Tunbridge Wells office on a Tuesday, once every 4 weeks. Additional ad-hoc office days may be required. When working from home, you’ll need a quiet, private space to work from where you won’t be overheard. You’ll receive a 7.5% shift allowance.

What you’ll be doing:

• Provide high quality, empathetic guidance on a broad range of pharmaceutical issues (e.g. medication usage, interactions and storage, vaccinations etc) to members and non-members both over the phone, by email and through the online system, whilst strictly adhering to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPSGB) code of ethics.
• Maintain various helplines and services within service levels, offering callers relevant help and information daily and in line with defined hours of business.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Act as a clinical expert and role model, providing specialist knowledge and assistance to colleagues.
