Permanent Recruitment
In an ideal world, all pharmacies would be run by a pharmacist manager who stays in post for years and builds up long and trusted relationships with members of staff, local health professionals and most importantly of all, customers. Unfortunately, we don’t live in an ideal world.
Pharmacy, like most professions offers practitioners a whole raft of opportunities. A pharmacist can work for small or large companies in the community, in hospital, GP surgeries, prisons and PCT’s in the NHS and are much sort after in the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore now more than ever, pharmacists are taking a portfolio approach to their profession crossing over the sector barriers especially in the first years after qualification.

PL-UK’s permanent recruitment service works with clients to build job description and person specifications if required and will actively search through the data base of registered pharmacists to find the best candidates for your vacancy.
