Superintendent Pharmacist (Online Pharmacy)

Job description

Superintendent Pharmacist (Online Pharmacy) — Part-Time | ASAP Start (Mostly Remote | North East England)

We’re looking for a Superintendent Pharmacist (Part-Time) to lead the professional, clinical, and regulatory direction of our distance-selling/online pharmacy. This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys combining patient safety, clinical governance, and operational leadership—and who’s excited by the pace of a growing digital pharmacy.

You’ll be the legally responsible pharmacist, shaping how we run safely and compliantly as we scale. The role is mainly remote, with occasional on-site visits to our North East England hub/operations.

What you’ll be doing

Clinical Governance & Compliance

• Act as the primary point of contact with the GPhC and ensure the business meets all statutory and professional requirements
• Design, implement, and regularly audit SOPs tailored for distance-selling operations
• Lead risk management across online workflows (identity checks, remote clinical appropriateness, misuse prevention)

Operational Oversight

• Oversee end-to-end dispensing to ensure high standards of accuracy, safety, and efficiency
• Provide leadership and supervision to pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, supporting development and professional standards
• Ensure ethical procurement and oversee supply chain / cold-chain logistics where applicable

Digital Innovation & Patient Safety

• Review clinical website content to ensure it’s accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with medicines advertising standards
• Partner with independent prescribers/clinicians to ensure safe patient journeys from consultation to delivery
• Act as final escalation point for complex clinical queries and patient complaints

What we’re looking for

• GPhC-registered pharmacist with a clean fitness-to-practise record
• Strong knowledge of the Medicines Act, Human Medicines Regulations, and GPhC standards for registered pharmacies
• Ideally experience in online/distance-selling pharmacy (DSP) and/or senior leadership/Superintendent responsibility
• Comfortable working in digital-first environments (PMR systems, Slack/Teams, e-commerce platforms)

You’ll be great if you…

• Lead confidently in a high-responsibility environment
• Have exceptional attention to detail and a patient-safety-first mindset
• Can balance regulatory requirements with commercial realities in a scaling business
• Enjoy improving systems, governance, and processes—not just maintaining them

Role details

• Start: ASAP
• Hours: Part-time (flexible, to be agreed)
• Location: Mostly remote, with occasional on-site visits (North East England)
