New Zealand Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora Te Tai Tokerau Full time

**Inpatient Mental Health Services (1.0FTE)**

Achieving the best health outcomes for Northland communities starts with expecting the best from ourselves. We ensure every member of our team has the opportunity to develop, grow and stay inspired. Here, you can make an impact on your community and on your own professional development - all whilst enjoying a flexible and healthy work-life balance.

**About the role**

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Clinical Pharmacist in the Inpatient Mental Health Services based at Whangarei Hospital. This is a permanent position, working 80 hours per fortnight.

This role will lead, deliver and develop pharmacy services to the Inpatient Mental Health and Addiction Services of Te Whatu Ora, Te Tai Tokerau.
