About the role

Working within our Pharmacy Cancer Services team at Warrnambool Campus, you will provide clinical pharmacy services to oncology patients and support the Manager of Pharmacy Cancer Services across clinical, medication manufacturing and clinical trial processes.
You will join a dedicated and collaborative team comprising the Manager, a pharmacy technician and a rotational pharmacist.
