PHARMACY RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS FOR EARLY YEARS PHARMACISTS
Pharmacy recruitment continues to be a significant challenge across the UK. Demand for qualified pharmacists is increasing, while the supply of available professionals is not growing at the same pace.
Although demand in our professional sector is fantastic news for the industry generally, it leaves several Pharmacies and Pharmacy Services without any cover, with shop closures occurring often and NHS Trusts reporting vacancy rates of up to 50%. This is not sustainable, and the only solution in the short-term is to increase the availability of Pharmacists. This can be done using the EEA Pharmacists route. Kandarp Thakkar Consulting offers a bespoke service to make this happen with your organisation, in line with the NHS Employers Ethical Recruiters Code of Conduct.
so how is kandarp thakkar consulting different?
- All the hard, time consuming and expensive work taken away from you e.g., you don’t need to go abroad with a team (there are other ways to get holidays!)
- You end up with a Pharmacist who has been personally vetted by an experienced Chief Pharmacist (surely that counts for something!)
- Your recruitment team only get involved (and we know how busy they all are!), at the point of application on NHS Jobs – until this point, any help the candidates need e.g., GPhC registration, IELTS test etc. is done by us.
- Your new member of staff is put into a network with other Pharmacists in a similar situation – peer support and great for their well-being. All you would expect of an ethical recruiter!
