Job Description

Here, you will work close to healthcare and contribute to the treatment of severely ill patients.

The role also offers the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in pharmaceutical issues, such as drug stability and shelf-life – work that strengthens patient safety and contributes to more sustainable resource utilization.

We are a public operation, which means a stable and long-term mission. Here, you will gain abundant experience, professional development, and engaged colleagues. The work also offers very good working hours and a work-life balance that is hard to beat.

At the Pharmaceutical Preparations Department at Linköping University Hospital, we work close to healthcare to manufacture individualized medicines for each specific patient. With short lead times and high quality requirements, we deliver cytostatics and sterile preparations that are crucial for the care's treatments – a job where pharmacy meets real patient benefit.

We are looking for you who want to use your competence in an operation where quality, responsibility, and collaboration are at the center. You will join a cheerful and engaged team that supports each other and tackles new challenges together. You follow the medicine all the way: from pre-control of the order, through production, to final control where quality and patient safety are in focus. Our working hours vary between 07:00-17:00 on weekdays. When you are confident in all procedures, you will be included as a extemporaneous pharmacist in on-call duty. This means that a pharmacist is on call at home to meet the care's acute needs outside our opening hours. Do not hesitate, apply for the pharmacist job that is different!
