Job description

  Job facts

One of the world's leading research based pharmaceutical companies, Roche is driven by the passion and innovative spirit of its people. As a team, we work together in a collaborative environment to create new solutions that enrich lives across the world. Key to achieve that mission are our pioneering licensed medicines as well as growing pipeline of new products.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Nurse Advisor in the Rare Diseases Franchise, one of eight Integrated Franchise Teams that support our increasingly rich and diverse product portfolio. Our franchises are led by an Integrated Franchise Lead (IFL) and the leadership team (Integrated Franchise Team). The IFT is made up of highly skilled individuals representing areas including: Product Strategy/Marketing, Medical, Communications, Sales, Market Access and Finance, all responsible for their areas of expertise and collaboratively making sure the Franchise meets its objectives.

As a new Franchise, we now need additional ambitious and creative professionals to drive its future success. Your expertise will help bring forward important new molecules for patients suffering from rare diseases in the UK.

The Rare Diseases Franchise is pivotal to the success of Roche as we diversify the portfolio and launch new molecules in these important areas.

Reporting to the Customer Experience Lead, your role will include:

·  Developing and implementing nursing support programmes and materials to build confidence in our new medication within the haemophilia community
·  Liaising with field teams to support the haemophilia community with any switch related support, answering queries on practical aspects of the medicine in the nursing environment (ie. Dental protocols, etc) and future medicine related enquiries, as required
·  Supporting colleagues across the launch team in their customer interactions with therapeutic area experts and members of multidisciplinary teams.

Attendance and contribution would also be expected at the key global conferences. You will work in cross functional teams within Roche UK, and will also be an important partner in our co-promotion efforts with Chugai Pharma UK Ltd.

·  Who we are

Our UK Pharmaceutical head office is situated in Welwyn garden City, Hertfordshire, with beautiful country side surrounding the area. Supported by major motorways & airports as well as being a 30 minute train ride to London, access is easy.

Desired profile

Who you are

You're someone who wants to influence your own development. You're looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies. Where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.

This role will require you to have an inquisitive and analytical nature, to think creatively and seek “outside the box” solutions in all that you do, e.g. by looking to outside traditional pharmaceutical marketing solutions.

Ideally this post will be filled by an individual with nursing experience, preferably in haemophilia, able to lead projects and work cross-functionally. Further, maintaining high ethical standards is key and so you will ensure that all activities are in line with Roche's guidelines and ABPI/MHRA requirements.

You will also have good knowledge of the UK health care system, in particular commercial decision-making within the NHS.

Equally important are your personal qualities. The role requires autonomous working, strong project management, self-reliance, excellent team working skills and the ability to communicate effectively at all levels.

Bring us your talent and we'll bring you outstanding career development opportunities - both within the UK and globally. There's also the chance to be part of this supportive culture within which feeling valued, respected and empowered is a daily experience.

If you are proud of contributing and feel you have the commitment to teamwork and innovation that we are seeking, then Roche is the organisation for you. In return we offer a competitive salary plus the excellent benefits you would expect from a blue-chip organisation, including a genuine interest in your development and progression.

Please include an up to date CV and cover letter with your application detailing clearly why this role would fit well with your current career and life aspirations.

Applications close: 1st June 2017

Good luck!
