Posted on Thursday, August 24, 2023

Skin + Me is a mission driven start-up with seriously big skin goals.

We’re looking for a Pharmacist Prescriber to join our amazing Team at Skin + Me. This is a hybrid working role with three days a week in our Paddington HQ (Mon, Tue, Fri) and two days remote.

About the role:

Joining our Prescribing Team at Skin + Me is an opportunity to develop your professional skill within a unique and refreshing environment, as well as working with some of the best minds in the Dermatology space.

The ideal candidate must be an Independent Prescriber registered with the GPhC. It would be advantageous if they have previous experience prescribing but this is not essential.

Most importantly the successful candidate will have humility, the ability to work autonomously and communicate well with others.

What you'll do:

  • Be trained to a high-level of competency by industry-leading consultant dermatologists, to be able to effectively diagnose and manage skin conditions including acne, melasma, hyperpigmentation and skin-ageing concerns
  • Review patient consultations, prescribe and manage customer treatment plans (once your competence has been assessed and signed-off, you will not be under the supervision of the dermatologists and will need to make all your own prescribing decisions or escalate to a lead prescriber)
  • Be the point of escalation for complex cases
  • Deal with medical queries and problem solve for our customers across our customer service channels and liaise with our wider customer services team
  • Be involved in further developing our consultation service in an exciting start-up environment
  • Be involved in further developing our dermatology training programme and to deliver teaching to prospective prescribers
  • Have the autonomy to create best in class customer experiences
  • Liaise directly with our in-house medical team
  • Continually develop your clinical knowledge with regular CPD session with our dermatologists
  • Monitor prescribing safety

Who you are:

These are the skills we’re looking for. Even if you don’t tick every box, but feel you’re right for us, we’d still love to hear from you.

  • An independent prescriber, registered with the GPhC (this is a requirement)
  • An obsession with delivering exceptional customer experience
  • A can-do attitude, incredible attention to detail and a true problem solver
  • Ability to write quickly, with perfect spelling and grammar, in our brand tone of voice
  • You will be entrepreneurial in nature with no need to be micro-managed
  • Experience within the dermatology space is advantageous
  • This role is full time, for 5 days a week, including Saturday and Sunday on a rota (currently this would be 1 weekend in every 5)

More about Skin + Me:

There’s a huge problem in the world of skincare: people struggle with more than just how their skin looks. They also worry about how it makes them feel and how to manage it long-term. We’re on a mission to change that.

The truth is that achieving your best skin isn’t complicated. The secret? Using a stripped back routine with the best combination of active ingredients for your skin goals. The right products and knowledge make it possible to tackle everything from fine lines and wrinkles to adult acne, rosacea and pigmentation. We’re united in the belief that everyone should have access to expert advice, treatment plans and ingredients that work – minus the big price tag and the long dermatologist waitlist.

Skin + Me is a mission-driven start-up, building a pioneering online dermatology service powered by experts. We take customers through a simple online medical consultation and our prescribers formulate custom treatments that can’t be bought on the high street. Each one is personalised to the individual’s skin goals. It arrives in their letterbox each month and evolves alongside their skin – because everyone’s skin is different and no two journeys are the same.

Skin + Me recently secured £10 million in a series B funding round, reflecting the growing interest in expert-approved skincare. We’ve raised funding from some of the best-known direct-to-consumer entrepreneurs and VCs, including Octopus Ventures. Our highly experienced founding team comes from the likes of Facebook, Charlotte Tilbury, Tails.com and Graze.com.

Our journey has just begun and we’d love for you to join us as we change the face of skincare! Think you’re up for the challenge?
